 FOREWORD

It is the purpose of this book to heal those who read and

study its pages. The articles are gathered together with
that object in view. Each one was written under the inspiration
of a definite purpose, to heal, encourage, and enlighten
whomsoever should read it. The multitude of letters which have
been received shows that the purpose has borne fruit, and
causes me to rejoice in the knowledge that written truth can
bear the balm of healing to suffering humanity.
These lessons are the fruit of spiritual realization. The
varying forms of expression were adapted to the various
states of mind I desired to arouse. The energies of
Omnipotence are latent within human minds, and there
is no nobler task than speaking or writing words that will
stir those energies and arouse them into activity for the
healing of the Creator's beloved humanity.
In the last analysis, all forces are of the nature of mind,
developed or undeveloped, and the forces of mind or
thoughts are the proper avenues through which we direct
the living, healing dynamics within the nature of
humanity.
Mystical words of mighty healing power have been
revealed to me, and I have woven many of them into these
lessons and affirmations.
Where a truth is repeated, I have purposely allowed the
repetition to stand, and I trust that this will cause the
reader to remember that "Repetition is the mother of
learning."
Remember that your ability to gain dominion over your
physical body will develop as you cultivate thought
power. By constant study of these lessons, you will gain
an ability to heal the mind and therefore the body of yourself
and others, according to the degree of thought power
you generate.
"There is no excellence without labor." It is not how
much you read, or how much you know about mental
processes that gives you mental power, but rather how
much you incorporate of the positive thought and feeling
of Truth into your mind and body.
If you desire to progress in spiritual power you will be
obliged to build a thought-body out of positive thoughts
of truth. These lessons will furnish you with the material
for building your spiritual temple, through which the

2
healing power will become manifest in your body, and as
you put these truths into practice, day after day, and year
after year, you will find all negative limitations vanishing
and a positiveness of soul power developing which will repay
you most wonderfully for all your efforts toward the
attainment of spiritual and physical dominion. Awake,
and understand your divine possibilities as a soul formed
in the image and character of the Creator! Create into a
powerful thought- or mind-body, all the divine attributes
that lie latent within your soul awaiting your recognition
and expression, and you will attain a consciousness of
power that will grow and increase throughout all eternity.

 ASPIRATION

I pray to know the charm of mine own transcendent soul,

that it may show forth greater power through my personality
and enfold all mankind in the healing power that will
soothe the aching hearts of the world.
I pray that through the charm exerted by my own
awakened soul, I may be able to arouse and awaken the
slumbering soul which is the Self of everyone. May I realize
the power to help each Self manifest the Great I AM in its
being, and thus bring an immortal glory to this world.

 Note to the Reader

The healing affirmations and health perspective offered

in Healing Currents should not be construed as a substitute
for appropriate care rendered by the health care professional
of your choice. No claims are made and no treatment is
prescribed. Rather, this is a supplement to rational, properly
supervised health care for your physical frame. We do feel,
however, the need to also emphasize how the power of your
mind, your spirit and your soul affects your physiological state.

 KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

The great prayer that is arising from souls incarnate is

the prayer for more vitality. It is the speechless prayer of
the whole world; the unuttered longing and desire of every
heart for that which will enable it to overcome limitations and
find satisfaction.
Scientists of today are searching as tirelessly for a
life-renewing elixir as did Ponce de Leon for the fountain of
youth, but their stimulants, tonics, and serums will not
renew the creative impulse of vitality which produced the
organism and which lies latent within, always ready to
revitalize, renew, and heal every part of the physical nature.
It is not medication that will save the sick and suffering,
but the opening of the human nature to this divine influx, which
is health-compelling and harmony-producing to every nature
that finds it. Many are becoming conscious that a heavenly,
healing vitality awaits them, and nothing can hinder their
search for the immortal vigor that will save their beings from
disease and pain, and evolve a new type of humanity. They
shall become fearless and dauntless, healthy and happy in the
conscious possession and understanding of the vital principle
within them, which is the manifestation of the Life Ever-Present
in humanity.
Matter and body cannot create, because they are effects.
They can only manifest the energy infused into them by their
cause. Vitality is not a material force; it is spiritual force. Vitality
is cause. Vitality is the creative energy of the love and
intelligence of the I AM which holds in its embrace every atom
of sentient substance.
It is the vitality of the Infinite Mind that we see manifesting
in bird and beast, tree and flower, and this same vitality is at
this moment giving you all the life that you have, and the
Infinite Mind can give you as much as you can individualize
and express.
Your lack of knowledge of the possibilities of your own
nature keeps you from growing out of your weak or sickly
condition. Knowledge is power.
All nature is enlivened by the omnipotent vitality of the
Infinite Mind, and the human mind must seek its vitality
from this source, for vitality is a mental energy which can
be appropriated to an unlimited degree. According to how
it is recognized and expressed will it overcome all
diseased and depleted conditions of the body.
New ideas entering the mind bring with them an influx

8
of vitality. The thoughts in this book are overflowing with
vitality and health, and the more you study them the
closer your mind will get to the Fountain of Life, which
will renew your body as your mind is renewed with living
thoughts from the Divine Mind. If you want to live and be
healthy you must not think or talk about disease or
death.
There is a Source of unlimited vitality, strength, and
energy which has been given too little recognition, and
from lack of knowledge of this vital impulse the race has
suffered much. This knowledge was denied out of mortal
understanding, but it is again being resurrected in the
mind of humanity.
The souls of mortals "cannot live by bread alone". They
must be fed on the manna of Heaven, which is the
thoughts that flow out from the Mind of the Creator,
before there can be the harmonious union of the human
and the divine in all of humanity. Only this will guarantee
their health, happiness and prosperity while on the earth.
You, no matter how poor, sick or miserable you may be,
are living in the midst of Divine Forces which can
generate a new health and strength in your body, weave
prosperity and success into your destiny, and make your
whole life divine and harmonious. The forces that
contribute to success are within the reach of every mind,
waiting to be polarized and individualized.
Intelligent and powerful thought forces interpenetrate
space, even as magnetic and electric currents flow
through space, and these potent forces can intelligently
control all the operations of natural law. It is still more
wonderful to know that these forces are obedient to our
minds and are ready and potent to operate everything for
our good if we will but recognize our God-given dominion.
We can establish this awareness by thinking the thoughts and
speaking the words which embody our faith in the Almighty
Presence and cause it to manifest for our benefit.
We may have a wonderful mental power, and preach
the highest truth, but the power that harmonizes and
heals is ours only when our minds have entered the pure
ocean of bliss and been magnetized by contact with the
positive pole of Divinity. Then are we endowed for the time
being with the power of the Cause of causes, and all
causes respond to the one who realizes this mastery.
Again and again must one retire from the world and overcome
the conflicting vibrations of the world-mind, for the soul is

9
constantly in need of the omnipotent Power that abides with
our Creator.

10
 THOUGHT, THE SUPREME REMEDY

Mental Science has been scorned and ridiculed for

many years, but it has gained adherents by demonstrating
the power of thought to cure disease. It has been
discovered that bad and unpleasant feelings create
harmful metabolic products in the body, which are physically
injurious. Good, pleasant, benevolent, and cheerful
feelings create beneficial chemical products which are
physically healthful. It has been found that, for each bad
emotion, there is a corresponding chemical change in the
tissues of the body which is life-depressing or debilitating.
Conversely, every good emotion makes a life-promoting
change. Consequently, a noble and generous action blesses
the doer as well as the beneficiary. Every thought which enters
the mind is registered in the brain by a specific change in the
activity of its cells.
Experiments have proven that mere thought or favorable
feelings of any sort concerning a food eaten not only
assisted the digestion but partly caused it to occur.
When people's minds are busy with things far removed
from their food while they are eating, it can impair the
digestive process.
One who considers the matter thoughtfully will soon
realize that thought or feeling has the power to cause and
also to cure disease. All the secretions and activities of
the body are controlled by the sympathetic nervous
system, and the quality of the feelings that circulate over
these nerve pathways, affects every cell in the body.
Grief or anger will stop the flow of gastric fluid. The
thought of eating will start the saliva flowing. Greed
affects the vital organs in the same way, and when it is
habitually prevalent in the mind, it undermines the very
teach the Thought of the Creator, which brings so much
happiness and health to suffering humanity through
their awakening at the present time; and it is our
constant experience that pure, loving thoughts are
charged with the healing, invigorating potency of the
Spirit of our Creator. Everyone who will educate the mind
to conform to divine purity and truth will find the power of
the Creator, which makes for health and happiness.
Those who have not seen some wonderful demonstration
in their own lives, or in the life of someone very close to them,
are liable to become discouraged if immediate results do not
manifest.
Remember that all the force of your past thoughts is

11
against your new faith, and that you are just beginning to
tear down a mental force which runs back through
heredity for all ages, and although the Thought of the
Creator is all-powerful, your understanding and exercise
of it are to be compared to the efforts of the little child just
learning to walk. The obstacles the child meets seem as
insurmountable to him as yours do to you; but with the
same persistent effort, you will gain control of the powers
that are latent in your will and thought, and you will walk
upright in dominion as a conquering Soul of the Creator.

 EFFECTS OF MENTAL STRESS

We are mental creatures, and our life is in our mind.

Our happiness depends upon our state of mind. Our
physical conditions exhibit our frame of mind, and we
can progress in life and create a proper destiny only as we
cultivate the thinking which is common to the Mind of the
Creator.
Mind is positive and negative. Mortal mind is
negative-undeveloped. The Supreme Mind is
positive-developed in wisdom.
Whatever thoughts we listen to or speak, or whatever
thoughts we allow to remain in our minds, will bear fruit.
Condemnation, envy, prejudice, and all the thoughts
and words of mortal mind, are negative. They are nothing
and lead to nothing, which is dissolution. The words of
truth will gain the mastery over all the beliefs and expressions
of error, for these are negative conditions which the
positive thoughts of truth overcome.
Beliefs of sin, sickness and death are also negative. We
can free ourselves from these thoughts by denial of them,
and we can place our minds in unity with the positive pole
of life and peace by the affirmation of truth.
We are one with the almighty goodness of the Creator
now. Our minds live in and draw their life from the Mind
of the Creator, and we can and will grow out of our negative
beliefs and conditions by the recognition that we are
manifestations of the Ever-Present Life. We can think the
thoughts of the Creator, and thus grow into a conscious
knowledge and realization of an Infinite Presence and
Power.
While we are thinking the thoughts of the world, we are
living in mental and spiritual darkness, and in this state
of mind we cannot hope to enjoy life or peace or prosperity
from the Creator, for all real enjoyment is in the Light of
Truth. An abiding satisfaction flows into our minds as we
charge them with thoughts based on the truth of infinite
goodness and love.
We have no power or substance or intelligence except
through the Ever-Present Life within us, and this is true of
all beings and all things. This is the saving truth that
frees and heals. All life is good and full of healing power.
All intelligence is good, and can manifest perfection. All
substances are good, and will reveal more and more that

13
they are intelligent, as the truth about them is
recognized.
Energize these thoughts in your mind by repetition:
I am living the life of eternal peace, for my life is one
with the life of the Creator, which is peace.
I desire to think only the thoughts that tend to life and
peace, thus uniting myself with the divine Source of all
wisdom and love.
I know that I am the Mind of Truth expressing, and I
think and feel that Almighty Goodness now dominates all
my world.
The Spirit of Goodness is omnipresent. It includes all
that I need or want.
I do not place any thoughts or conditions between
myself and the Creator.
Every claim that I make which is opposite to the Spirit
of Goodness is a negation of my eternal life with the
Creator, and hides the Creator from me. The Creator can
do all things for me if I am true to the Ever-Present's
Inspiration, and have unwavering faith. An all-abiding faith is
the affirmation of the Power of the All-Good.
I am Life. I am Health. I am Joy. I am Prosperity. My
love is of the Creator and for the truth, and I constantly fill
my mind with positive thoughts of truth, which create
good and harmonious conditions for me.
There is only One Mind, the Mind of the Creator, full of
divine life and intelligence for all, overflowing with
healing love and uplifting light.
I lift my mind from all appearances of limitation to the
consciousness of the one Omnipotent Power, and affirm
that I am the recipient of all Its goodness and love.
I negate from my being all the feelings and thoughts of
the world, and individualize the thoughts based on my
unity with the I AM, for I am the spoken word of the
Creator, and I manifest the Ever-Present's intelligent
goodness, now and forever.

14
 WE GROW LIKE THAT WHICH WE STUDY

Noted throat specialists have died of ailments of the

throat, and insanity experts have become as mad as their
patients. Those who study the power of disease will find
disease and death creeping over their whole organism,
but those who give their attention to the power of Life will
find the Power that can transform them into health and
perfection.
We are all mind. We live in an ocean of Mind, and we are
each a polarizing center capable of drawing into our being
any quality of mind we may desire to incorporate.
Looking at the universe from the physical standpoint,
it is a vast ocean of matter or negative mind. This ocean of
living force is constantly in flux, like the water that is part
of a whirlpool one minute, and the next minute has gone
to form a gigantic wave. So the atoms of negative mind
are building up one body today, which tomorrow will have
disintegrated, allowing those same atoms to go to the
formation of another body. The planet is one center of force,
and the trees, the animals and our bodies are still other
centers organized for the time being from the substance
of the universe. The atoms which compose our physical
bodies were once part of the planet, and before that,
planetary nebulae, and before that, stars. Our bodies are
literally manufactured from the essence of stars. But if all
this force is constantly in flux and not bound by any ties
other than the attraction of the moment, what is it that
holds our bodies and the bodies of all things in the forms
in which they appear? It is positive, invisible Mind. Here
we see the power of the Invisible Cause, the attractiveness
of that positive center of Mind that draws around
itself a body of physical atoms. We see that the positive,
invisible pole of being has power over the world of visible
effects.
The organized form of positive mind is the positive pole
of attraction. The positive mind of the plant has evolved to
polarize atoms into the beautiful forms of verdure. The
mind of the plant is organized from the Universal Mind. It
has dominion over the atoms of negative substance, and
develops a still stronger power by the process of organizing
a form, so that after it has accomplished all that it can
with one form, it will have gained the power to organize a

15
still higher and more complex form of life. We are polarizing as
much of life as we understand, and as we understand more,
we will use our powers of mind to organize
into form the deeper realities of the Spirit of Truth.
The complexity of the form will depend upon the power
of the mind within the form which is holding it in organization.
Its quality will also be determined by the quality of
the mind which does the polarizing. This is illustrated by
the fact that no two persons get the same benefit from the
same foods. What is nourishment for one person is often
poison for another. You may feed two people the same
quantity of food per meal; one will grow fat while the other
remains as thin as a greyhound. One has attributes of
mind which find and attract to themselves corresponding
chemicals in the food; and the other, not having the
mental qualities that are nourished by a particular diet,
will not build up on that substance. Whether one speaks
of quality of mind or quality of the endocrine system, the
original cause remains the same.
It has been noted that those who study the heavens live
to a goodly age. The mind of the astronomer opens up to
the unfolding spaces of infinitude, with their teeming
world systems, and in searching out the meaning of it all,
inbreathes some of the Spirit of Truth.
Minds centered upon the cares of the world and busy
with the small duties of life, need to be opened by study
and contemplation to the grandeur of the great Creator,
whose marvelous Presence is manifest in all the laws and
forms of the universe. Students should seek that
instruction which opens the mind to the mighty Spirit of
Life. This is necessary, that the mind may receive new life
and the power to manifest life in endless abundance.
The Truth reveals the Life which was always here but
which we did not recognize. It is our recognition that
opens up our minds to receive Its blessings. Recognition
grows into faith, and faith builds up the mental forces
that polarize life.
As we walk through the park or in the woods, we should
know that the contact of our feet with the ground is giving
us the magnetic vitality of Mother Nature. The air is filled
with invigorating vitality; the sun is pouring its mighty
life into our being; and the beauty and grace of the
Creator manifest in all outdoors are giving us a magnetic,
mental, and soul treatment that tunes our minds to
Infinite Life and health. We are healed because it is the

16
 Presence of the Creator that we recognize. Let us contemplate
the beauty and power of the Ever-Present that is all
and in all, and we will be harmonized by Its mighty
continuity and feel the thrill of the divine consciousness
pervading our natures. We will grow like that which we
study.
It has been discovered that the perfume and color of
roses will soothe the nerves and often cure a headache.
To concentrate the mind upon one of these forms of
nature's beauty and grace brings our nature into unity
with the Spirit of Universal Nature, which is the Presence
of the Creator. Each one of Nature's forms is a key to the
kingdom of life, of beauty, and of endless wisdom. All
forms are but the physical manifestations of spiritual
entities, and these spiritual entities, or minds, are drawing
their intelligence and power from the Infinite Source.
They are the one Infinite Intelligence made manifest, so
we can say that Nature, as a whole, is a form of the
Creator. If we will examine any form of life, we will come in
touch with a wisdom and skill so profound that our
deepest thinking cannot encompass it. We, as organized
beings, stand at the head of all the Creator's manifestations.
We already have dominion over the negative mind
of Nature. The fact that our spiritual nature has organized this
form and has the power to hold it in life and to give activity to
all its functions, proves that we are endowed with dominion.
Now we are coming to the consciousness that our thought has
built the character that is the invisible pattern upon which our
flesh is woven, and that our thought, rightly cultivated, can
increase our organizing power. Our thought can make for
us a body of health or a body of pain. Let us study the
mighty Life within and all about us, that our thoughts
may be filled with the breath of the Divine Spirit, and our
bodies renewed and reformed into living images of health
and perfection.
Thousands of chronic ailments have been healed in
those who desired health and knew that they could get it
through study of vital, healing concepts. The desire for
healing and the constant study of healing words, opened
their natures to the Omnipotent Life that is always seeking
to give forth Its own likeness of infinite health and
perfection. The Spirit of the Creator never ceases Its healing
ministrations. If we do not know of Its goodness and mercy,
we cannot have faith in Its operation; without knowledge of

17
this transforming Power, we cannot be receptive to Its influx,
because It flows through our knowledge or faith into our
bodies. The more knowledge we have of spiritual realities, the
more vibrant our minds become with the living Breath of
Heaven. Joyous vitality from the streams of eternal Life
bubbles up within us and fills us with the consciousness of
unity with the Ever-Present, so that we rejoice perpetually in
the knowledge of the Presence and Power of our Creator.

18
HUMANITY'S RELATION TO THE UNIVERSAL MIND

The universe is one vast Mind, expressing itself in all

the manifold forms of vitality and intelligence. There are
two poles of this great Mind, positive and negative, for it is
a mighty magnet of living, attractive force. If we gain a
comprehension of the law of attraction that radiates from
the positive pole of life, holding suns, and systems of
suns, as well as humanity and every atom of created life,
in obedience to its one law; if we understand this law of
life, we shall know how to fulfill the law in order to progress
to the highest level of attainment, and how to overcome
every obstacle to the success of our endeavors.
The sun of our solar system is a positive pole of
attraction, which holds the negative planetary spheres subject
to its controlling influence, and radiates to all planets the
vibrations which we sense as light and heat. The sun in
turn is negative and obedient to the influence of some
more positive suns of magnetic force, a mightier center
which regulates the movement of solar systems within
the galaxy.
Yet this vast physical universe of created worlds and
suns is, as a whole, but the negative pole of the Mind of
God. It is the lowest degree of expression of that Great
Mind. It is the most inert or negative condition of mind
possible. The name "matter" should not be applied to this
universal physical substance, because the word is used
to express the idea of deadness or absence of life, and
there is not an atom in all the universe utterly devoid of
vitality or intelligence. All is Mind, an intelligent Mind
evolving and expressing more and more of Its dormant
energy in all substance. Progression is natural to all life.
We are growing into a more positive state of intelligence
through the wisdom gained from experience. We would
now acquaint ourselves with the positive pole of Mind, the
source of all happiness, health and prosperity. Therefore,
we turn our attention from the plane of forgetfulness to
the plane of endless consciousness.
The positive pole of Mind is the individualization and
revelation of all the qualities and attributes of the Eternal
Being. It is the Great I AM, the unceasing affirmation and
expression of all the love, wisdom and power of the Infinite
Unknown. It is the Great Sun of the Creator, forever
radiating intelligence and life to all planes of Mind, to all
worlds and all beings.
These radiations of mental energy from the Sun of the

19
Creator fill the objective heavenly realms with the Glory of
divine Love and Wisdom, flowing out through all states of
the Universal Mind until they reach the limit of the orbit
of evolution, where they commence to individualize,
evolve and progress back to their source through crystal,
vegetable, animal and human forms; until the human
mind and the Divine Mind blend in conscious unity, and
the mortal realizes the immortality of human souls. So we
see that the origin of all is the Creator, and that all forms
and minds are manifestations of the Creator, evolving
slowly but surely the latent possibilities of vitality and
intelligence within them, until they become as gods, with
the conscious ability to mold their lives and destinies as
they will, thus manifesting the ultimate will of the
Creator.
Now for the practical application of these thoughts. We
are compelled to progress from negative to positive,
continually, through the experience we gain in the battle for
existence; but if we are willing to learn the laws of mind
and apply them constantly in working on life's problems,
we shall develop more rapidly in intelligence and we shall
realize the happiness and success that come from fulfilling
the divine laws.
The positive pole of the thinking individual is that controlling
power of the mind which affirms, "I Am, I Will." This is the
magnetic core to which everything in nature responds.
Humanity is a magnet, an epitome of the Great Magnet,
and through their positive pole they can appropriate and
individualize somewhat all the qualities and powers of
the Whole, for this power of affirmation unites them to the
positive pole of the Divine Mind and enables them to draw
from this Radiant Center everything that they may need
for the expansion and growth of their own nature.
There is no limit to the supply. It is equal to the
demand, and manifests for humanity's use when they
understand how to appropriate it through the exercise of
the magnetic power of their mind. They must know that
the positive pole of All-Being is the real center of their own
being, the Image into whose likeness they are gradually
growing. By identifying themselves with the qualities
which radiate from this mighty Center, and affirming
them for their own beings, as the qualities that belong to
all intelligence, latent or developed, they will build up the
positive forces of their minds which will overcome every
negative condition of body or affairs.

20
 Failure, sickness, and misery are not real forces; they
are not positive elements, but the lack of such. They are
the result of negative conditions of the mind, and are
indications of a lack of vitality or knowledge.
The intelligence in their nature strives of itself to overcome
diseased conditions, to remove irritating obstructions, and to
eliminate poisons from the system. This is
recognized by those physicians who give remedies merely
to aid Nature in her work.
If the intelligence in Nature can produce health, then
when this bodily intelligence is intensified, greater healing
powers will result. The mind can polarize the needed
vitality and intelligence, and draw it into bodily expression
from the radiations that fill the Mind of the world, by the
mental affirmation:
I am Intelligence.
I am filled with the Healing Power of the Mind of the
Creator.
The clouds of misery, fear, and discouragement can
likewise be dissolved from the mind by lifting these negative
thought currents into the positive currents of joyous
life , strength and unfaltering courage , through affirming:
I Am, I know I Am, and there is nothing greater than I
Am.
My mind is filled with the light and happiness of true
thinking, and I inspire faith and courage with every
breath I breathe.
The mind may in this way be educated to a strong and
substantial faith in its own powers. It will realize that
success is a positive attribute of intelligence, and it
should work and study unceasingly to individualize
intelligence by this mental culture until the whole character
is changed. Then it will feel the strength and power to
successfully execute all its designs.

21
 YOU ARE POWER

Tremendous energy and power are stored in your soul, more

than enough for every physical need. By continuous
affirmation you can bring this power into manifestation. The
patient affirmation of truth, continued with persistence, with
conviction that all you desire will be accomplished, is the power
of faith to bring about all good. Affirm:

I am a soul organized of the potencies of the living

Ever-Present. I call all my soul power into action to quicken all
my organs, and reorganize my body into an image of health
and perfection.

The Creator is the power that works through my soul to

quicken, purify and spiritualize my body. My soul is the power
that polarizes the atoms and holds my body in form according
to the mental pattern. I am not bound by any mortal or spiritual
limitations. The antiquated beliefs of the inertness and
grossness of matter and the physical body are dissolved from
my mind. There is no inertia or sluggishness in my body. It is
alive throughout every organ and atom with mental energy and
intelligence.

I will arouse the dormant powers of my soul and so infuse my

body with new life and intelligence that every particle will tingle
and vibrate with the vitality and health of the Almighty Creator.
My body responds to every thought and feeling centered in it. I
will cultivate the force and latent intelligence in my being until it
becomes responsive and active, until it becomes living thought
energy, and obeys the will of my soul.

I will infuse all the life and power of my immortal soul into my
being. I must be quickened and spiritualized. I must vibrate
with life. The intelligence latent in every organ must be
aroused to operate in divine harmony for the health of the
whole body. I bless every internal organ with the cleansing
activity of the Spirit of the I AM, which flows through my soul
into my mind and fills the blood with the cleansing waters of
life.

Read over the foregoing statements a number of times daily,

22
emphasizing those with special personal meaning. The mighty
power of the Creator is in and all around you awaiting your
word of appropriation. You can speak words of truth until,
verily, your whole nature will be vibrating, the Word of Power
manifesting.

 POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE MIND

The mental healer works upon the theory that All is

Mind; that every object in existence is an individualized
form of the Universal Mind in one degree or another of
development or evolution; that the human mind is the
highest type of evolved intelligence, and that it can
express more and more of health and perfection through
appropriation of the qualities of the Divine Mind, of which
it is a self-conscious expression.
The healer is consistent with this premise in regarding
the body as mind also, negative mind to be sure, but a
substance potent with vitality and intelligence, every cell
of which is capable of manifesting a degree of perfection
and of acting in harmony with every other cell for the
healing and perfecting of the whole.
This places the human being in the aspect of a living
battery of mental energy, the thought power being the
positive pole and the body the negative pole. Through the
constant action of thought power, the individual is
polarizing the thought substance from the Universal
Mind, and the body responds to the thought power and
organizes the cells to conform to the characteristics of the
mental qualities individualized. In other words, the
character of the individual is expressed in every cell of
one's nature, because the character of mind polarizes
and qualifies the bodily cells.
It is the constant action of the mental forces of the
human magnet that produces all the involuntary actions
of digestion, breathing, heart-pumping, etc., and holds
nature in active organization. When either pole of the
battery is injured the whole being suffers in consequence.
The mental healer understands that diseased conditions of
the patient are often visible expressions of discordant mental
action. These are the embodied effect of some of the patient's
thoughts and feelings, and through this thought power, which is
transferable from one battery to another just as electric
impulses are sent through space without wires, the healer
seeks to inspire the patient's mind with thoughts that will
counteract the effect already produced. The objective is to
cause a new physical effect that will result in a more perfect
character.
All so-called matter is a storehouse of potential life and
energy; it is the intelligence and power of the Universal
Mind crystallized and at rest; it is the embodiment of the

24
mighty forces and energies of the All Mind; it is the negative
pole of the battery of life, and every power and quality
of the Divine Mind will be found expressed to some degree
in this visible nature of the Ever-Present Creator.
All is Mind, and all thoughts seek embodiment in
organized form. Disease germs are at most but negative
forms of unconscious or undeveloped mind, and they can
be entirely overcome by the positive thought of the mind
that recognizes its own power.
The mental healer applies a positive thought force to
the mind of the patient, and through the Mind this force
acts on the patient's mental organization; whereas the
physician applies a drug, a negative form of thought, to
the body, from which it reacts on the Mind. One works on
the positive pole and the other on the negative pole of the
individual, and both get results equal to the intelligence
of their efforts.
Natural and spiritual methods both have their place and
are good and serviceable in the development of the
individual. The best results will not be accomplished by flying
to the one extreme of looking to the Spirit and ignoring the
needs of the body entirely, nor by going to the other extreme
of applying the natural physical element needful for
the healing, without recognizing the mind which organizes
these elements and produces the perfect result. By natural
elements I do not mean drastic or destructive drugs or serums,
but only those elements which are found in the physical
composition of the body, and are needed for its natural
maintenance and well-being.
The human being is a composite entity, being a body,
mind, and soul related to the Body, Mind, and Spirit of
the Universe of the Creator, and one must use
discriminative knowledge if one would keep oneself balanced
and in harmony with the Whole.
When the human mind is consciously in unity with the
All Mind, and illumined by the principles of divine
knowledge, every fact that has ever been discovered will
glorify the Creator and reveal the action of the All Mind in
every sphere of existence, and in every atom of so-called
matter. When viewed from the exalted standpoint of the
One Great Mind, all the facts which the scientific
investigators have discovered will coincide and agree with
all the revelations that have dawned upon the intuitive
perception of humanity.
Humanity will evolve to a condition of mastery over its
physical nature where it will escape all the ills of the flesh
and many other ills besides, when it gains the knowledge

25
of its unity with the Divine Mind, and realizes that it can
individualize the potent qualities of mind which image
forth the likeness of the Divine Being; that it can have
perfect health and perfect happiness only by having a
perfect character.
Humanity must understand that the currents of its
thinking qualify the blood and nerve currents, which
control and feed every organ, muscle, and fiber of its
complex physical organism, and that there lies within its
mental grasp the power to control every action of its
nature. Through its wonderful action and reaction of its
positive and negative mind, backed by Universal Intelligence,
the processes of life have been going on unconsciously,
and the human mind has not yet realized that it
was the cause of discordant conditions, and could just
as easily cause harmonious conditions.
The body, the negative pole of the human battery, is
responding every instant to the thoughts and feelings
that are generated by the positive pole, and as the mind
becomes more intelligent and more conscious of its
power, it will grow more positive and infuse the flesh with
its positive intelligence, giving it vitality and strength to
overcome diseased conditions.
Humanity is not only ignorant of its unity with the
Universal Mind, but it is also busily engaged in thinking
thoughts that do not conform to divine ideas, nor express
the qualities which characterize the Thoughts that
emanate from the positive pole of the Divine Mind; it is
generating thoughts and feelings of lust, hatred, condemnation,
fear, malice, selfishness, revenge, cruelty, jealousy, and
envy, which come into physical expression as a host of
abnormal bodily conditions. All such thoughts and feelings
are mortal, and tend toward disease and the disintegration
of the human magnet. They produce currents which cross
with the currents of life and health and destroy the human
organism, while the thoughts of the Divine Mind (purity,
love, praise, courage, power, joy, freedom, success, and
goodwill) are immortal and filled with Life eternal; they are
most positive and have the power to convert, transform,
and reorganize all the mortal and negative thoughts and
their resultant conditions into health, harmony, and
happiness.
As all space is filled with electricity, which becomes
manifest only through the dynamo that generates it, so in

26
like manner, the whole of Immensity is radiant with the
beneficent healing Thought of the Divine Mind which will
come into action by being polarized to the positive pole of
the human magnet.
This mighty Universal Mind is manifesting Its love,
wisdom, and power throughout the whole of Its vast
creation. It is individualizing Its thought wherever there
is form or life, and inspiring all creatures with the great
vital impulse which causes them to progress along the
onward and upward movement of evolution, from the
negative pole of undeveloped Mind to the positive pole of
conscious life and intelligence.

27
 HOW TO PRACTICE MENTAL HEALING

The central attraction of these concepts has been the

great fact of its healing power. Into the mind of humanity
has come a mighty wave of awareness, bringing with it a
merciful vitality for the strengthening of the weak, the
healing of the sick and the soothing of all pain. The Angels
of Goodness are stirring the pool of life and all who will it
may have health and peace in overflowing abundance.
If you are seeking health (physical, mental, or spiritual), it
is essential first of all that you thoroughly grasp this fact:
You are all mind, through and through, from soul to
physical atoms. You believe that you are part mind and part
matter;
that part of your nature is intelligent and the rest is inert
and unresponsive, except to powerful drugs and stimulants.
But the fact of the matter is, every nerve and muscle and atom
is responsive to the action of your mind. You are organized
intelligence. YOU ARE ALL MIND.
You have been in the habit of thinking that all the mind
you have is situated in your brain. To be sure, your brain
is the most positive center of mental action, and from its
substance you generate the conscious thought that
inspires and affects every negative center in your body. If
you but stop to think, you will acknowledge that there is
an instinctive intelligence operative in the involuntary
action of your heart and lungs, and in every organ of your
body. There is wisdom expressed in the adaptation of
every bone and muscle and organ to its proper uses. And
this wisdom is a creative intelligence constantly operative
in your physical organization. You know your will has
dominion over matter; for your will, operating through
your arm, can move an inert object. Now, that same
mental force which acts through your will to lift a heavy
weight into the air, or walk your one or two hundred
pounds of flesh the distance of a mile or more, is the same
mind that is organizing and reorganizing every part of
your body, and it is this mental force that can be
educated to heal your body and keep you in health. You
may have misdirected this wonderful force and, if so, it
has caused you sickness and pain.
If you have been fearful, for example, you have
congealed internal secretions, and by your thoughts of
fear, retarded the action of some physical function. You

28
should learn of the Love that overcomes all fear. Heavy
charges of electricity will burn out the wires and connections
in an electric battery, and if you consider that your
organization is a mental battery, you will not be surprised
that heavy charges of anger paralyze the delicate nerve
wires and "burn out" brain cells in such abundance that
mental action is no longer possible. Passion will poison
the blood and destroy digestion. Fright has been known
to turn the hair white in a single night, and excessive
emotion has so affected the whole organism as to cause
sudden death.
Woven into your mind are all the false beliefs and feelings
that you have inherited from the generations before
you, and they are a basic cause for mental and physical
tribulations. A philosophy of life based on truth will
correct these causes and unite you to the fountain of
everlasting life and love, from which will bubble forth a
joyous life and strength sufficient for every need.
The second point of importance for you to understand
is the marvelous fact that thoughts are forces, endowed
with an intelligence which enables them to be directed to
accomplish what you will, in your body or in the body of a
friend. As angels of mercy and love are sent out from the
Almighty Presence to carry blessings to humanity, so
from your mind are sent out thoughts endowed with your
quality of intelligence, which go forth to cause peace or
pain wherever they may be sent. You have probably not
realized the importance of the truth that the Creator gave
human beings dominion over everything less positive than
themselves. You have been endowed by the
Almighty with dominion over every negative state of your
body and mind. The will power which you have received
from the Ever-Present is creative in potency, and you can
create health and happiness by working in unity with the
love and wisdom of the All One.
Disease and pain are the results of a lack of strength or
intelligence in an inharmonious organ. You can consciously
increase the force and intelligence in every organ of your body
by thinking of the organ as an intelligent thing and blessing it
with your power of thought. Take the heart, for instance. You
know that mental excitement or fear will increase or disturb the
heart's action. If the heart is weak in action, speak strength to it
in this way: (It is not necessary to repeat the words aloud, or
even to use the same words, though a carefully phrased
affirmation may carry more power.)

29
 I am strong and courageous, and I fill you with my
strength and courage.
You are organized life and intelligence.
You are active with the life of the Creator, and there is
nothing to limit your strength and power.
Repeating such words constantly will develop strength
and can have a beneficial effect on organ function. The
bodily organs are like children; they appreciate love and
attention. We are thinking so much of external things
that all our thought force is spent outside of the body, and
when we do think of any particular organ it is with a fear
that it will not do its duty. Such thoughts go into the
organ thought of and work to limit its action. Every time
we think or speak of our weakness, or limit in thought the
action of any bodily function, we are actually tearing
down the strength and power of our organism. We must
understand that, as children of the Almighty we are
endowed with power and intelligence, and that we limit or
expand our powers by the action of our own minds. If we
build a mind of faith in the Presence and Power of the
Creator in our midst, our faith lays hold of and brings into
operation the Divine Life and Intelligence. Likewise, if we
place any limit upon our own abilities, whether in the
ability to manifest health or success in any department of
life, we limit the action of the Almighty on our behalf. The
Creator is glorified in glorifying all souls; in making them
like gods in the Ever-Present's own image and likeness of
health, perfection and success. "Be ye perfect even as
your Creator in heaven is perfect," is the command.
The mind can construct or destroy. Good, harmonious
thoughts full of love and praise are constructive.
Vindictive, pessimistic, angry and critical thoughts are
destructive.
An organ in pain can be soothed as you would comfort
and harmonize an unhappy child. Do not forget that the
organ contains an intelligence that is part of the Mind
that you are, and is responsive to a harsh or pleasant
word. I bless you with the love of my soul, which
harmonizes all your nerves and atoms. Such blessings will
create harmonious conditions.
If your blood is impure, think in this manner:
I am a pure spring flowing from the Fountain of Divine
Life.
My blood is cleansed and purified by the Ever-Present
Power that glorifies all my life.
My heart is cleansed of all impure thoughts and

30
feelings, and I am at peace.
Dormant activities can be aroused by persistently
thinking toward the organ or organs:
You are the Spirit of Life in action.
You are filled with joyous, active life, and you love to
fulfill the will of my soul in making life manifest.
Many have overcome indigestion of long standing by
repeating over and over:
I have within me the power from the Creator which is
able to digest and assimilate anything that I may choose
to put into my stomach.
My stomach is a living dynamo of life and energy
Capable of doing its perfect duty.
My stomach enjoys its work and loves to assimilate the
good life in all things.
These are but a few of the many processes that may be
used. Each case requires thoughtful attention and much
confidence on the part of the one using the healing
thought. If confidence is not aroused after a few trials,
you should not lose faith in the method, but should seek a
teacher who can help you attain a state of confidence in
your own powers which are latent and inactive from lack
of recognition and exercise.
That part of mental or spiritual healing which seems to
border on the realm of the miraculous is the power of one
mind over another mind and body situated at a distance.
This is based upon the truth that minds are not distinct
or separate, but are surrounded by and united in One
Universal Mind, of which each one is an organized part.
We are living in an invisible ocean of Mind, and through
this ocean our thought waves proceed to the one to whom
they are directed. As it is possible to send impulses
through space without wires, so may we send the more
highly refined thought impulses from one human battery
to another, no matter how far apart they may be. In treating
patients living at a distance, the same process may be
used as in treating oneself, except that the name of the
patient should be repeated mentally about seven times
before talking to the part of the body to be healed.
It should be remembered that the physical body is
organized by the constructive force of thought and
feeling. Our invisible character is a real form of force
independent of its physical envelope. The character is the
positive organizing mind, the body is the negative mind,
obedient and responsive to the action of the more positive

31
entity. It is through your character that all life and action
express in your physical body, and your character determines
the quantity and quality of your life, as well as how
successful you will be. Character forms or limits life. So
the real basis of all true mental or physical healing is
character building.
Now this invisible character, this invisible part of you,
which is so potent in weaving physical substance into
grotesque or beautiful physical forms, into diseased or
healthy forms of life, is a bundle of thoughts and feelings
crystallized. As you have organized your character by
your habitual thinking patterns, and thus created the
cause for your present physical condition, so by your
thinking you can recreate and transform your character,
and change all the expressions of your body into a new
and more beautiful texture. If you have piled false
thoughts and impure desires one upon the other to cause
an unhealthy mind and body, you can begin now to use
your thoughts to dissolve the mental building of the past,
and work your mind just as persistently to form a character
that will be composed of pure emotions and true,
generous thoughts. A mind that is in the consciousness
of the Almighty Goodness and Love of the Ever-Present,
having naught but blessings for every soul as a child of
the Creator, feeling only kindness and goodwill toward
even the meanest criminal, will glorify its earthly temple
with the very Spirit of the Creator. It will be transformed
into an image of greater divine Perfection, with perception
open to the living Truth, beholding the divine Love, by the
Power of the Ever-Present within us.
We must open our eyes to see that the physical
universe is the body of the infinite and eternal Creator,
and if we comprehend how our mind pervades and affects
every part of our body, we will grasp the truth that the
omnipotent Mind of Jehovih is present in every part of
this Grand Body.
We are surrounded and pervaded by this loving
Presence, which is eternal life to all who awake to this
fact. We cannot escape from the Creator. We are organized
from Infinite Mind and Substance, and as quickly as
we recognize that we can have all of the Good we can
accept and make manifest, we will begin to draw upon
this inexhaustible Source for all the life, health, prosperity,
and satisfaction we need. We should build our faith

32
 strong in the truth that the Almighty is for us, and
nothing of evil can overcome us or make us forget that
there is only omnipotent Goodness in us and all about us.
It is also in those who are apparently evil, since they have
not been taught of the Divine Presence, and the
condemnations of mortals help to keep hidden the germ of
divinity that slumbers within them. They are misdirecting the
good life and energy with which the Creator so bountifully
supplies them, because they lack knowledge of how to
use and apply these forces. Nothing will save them from
their ignorance and sin but the knowledge of the truth of
their own oneness with the Creator.
It is very important for us to know that we grow like that
which we study. If we keep before our minds the beauty
and perfection which the Ever-Present Great Spirit has
bestowed upon all of creation, we will find our souls
attracted more and more to that divine ideal, until the
same love which our Creator has for all creation will be
kindled within us, and we shall know that we are all
brothers and sisters in oneness with the same
Ever-Presence. The most perfect and permanent healing is
attained only by the perception of this grand truth and
the awakening of the soul to the realization of the mighty
love of the I AM. This Love must endow us with a feeling of
universal fellowship with all souls as children of the one
Creator; we must feel toward all just as the Great Spirit
feels toward us, if we would be healed by this transforming
love. The Ever-Present Intelligence yearns to heal and
prosper all souls, but unless It can find entrance and
expression through our souls as love, Its power is limited
so far as we are concerned.
I have studied all the modern theories promulgated for
the healing of the sick, and for years I have taught and
practiced the healing Truth. I wish to give a word of
guidance to those who may be seeking healing power, either
for self-benefit or for the healing of others: that the living
Ever-Present Creator is the repository of all wisdom and
all healing love. The one who will look to the Great Spirit
constantly and draw upon that Presence continually for
the healing influx, will find an exaltation of the spiritual
nature and an indwelling, heavenly bliss which will bring
about the culmination of all desires, and satisfy the mind
with the consciousness of an immortal heritage that even

33
death cannot overcome.
Study to gain an understanding of divine thoughts,
that your mind may expand to embrace the freeing,
healing truth. You can outgrow your limiting ideas of God
and humanity, and enter through true ideas into
conscious communion with the Spirit of Truth.
While you are educating your intellect in the principles
of truth, keep your heart very close to the loving
consciousness of the Ever-Present. Let the immanent All
Power in you be fed and strengthened daily and hourly by
communion and cooperation with the transcendent I AM
within, that you may embody the Power of this enlightening
Presence for all humanity. Let your mortal spirit be
bathed in the healing stream of Divine Thought, that you
may become transformed into the health and perfection
of an immortal soul of the Ever-Present's inspiration.

34
 THE POWER OF MIND

As blood is the fluid which takes up all waste and

destructive poisons from the tissues, and carries in all
the necessary nutrients, it can be directed consciously to
carry nourishing, healing elements to any part of the
body. The power of mind which controls it is the greatest
healing force known to humanity.
In the development of a more perfect physique, there
are quite a number of things to take into consideration. A
great many enthusiastic beginners think that the word
'exercise' covers the whole field. So it does, but not only
bodily exercise. Mere bodily exercise, even if performed
haphazardly, will in time produce some good results. But
exercise of the mind is equally if not more important.
Concentrating thought force along certain lines gives us a
controlling power to overcome unhygienic habits that
tend to retard the growth of muscular tissue. Tissue-building
is a natural consequence of following certain well-defined laws.
We must exercise the muscles, use proper diet at the
proper time, and be thoroughly hygienic in our habits.
One must abstain from tobacco and liquor in every form,
and allow enough time for sleep. All these things tend to
put the mind in a good condition, that we may gain the
power of concentration, and concentration of the mind is
the fundamental law that governs the growth of tissue.
The more we concentrate, the better our results. We
must know the muscles we wish to develop, and by
concentrating all our thought force in their direction, the
dead cells are more quickly removed, and new ones added
in greater quantities, owing to the increased nervous
activity of the parts. We must practice concentration of
the mind in its highest degree, hand in hand with physical
exercise, if we wish to obtain the most perfect results.

35
 HOW TO CONCENTRATE

You must build up a more positive spiritual body of

thought for yourself, by thinking truths over and over
until they become part of your mind. You will become so
positive in truth by this method that you will feel the
vibrations of truth, and nothing else. But this is a practice that
must be made the work of a lifetime. The fruitage
from it will be a spiritual body that shall grow and develop
in power and dominion throughout all the progressions of
spiritual life.
The way to overcome distracting outside thoughts is to
cultivate your own thinking power by systematic effort.
Find some special studies in Truth that are interesting to
you, carry them with you, and use them as a means of
concentration for the development of your mental power.
The Spirit flows into the body only through the
channels of one's thoughts and feelings. In the thought or
feeling of the Creator there is unlimited healing and
transforming power, and as the mind is exalted to feel
and think as the Creator thinks and feels, the thought
power which creates perfection becomes the inspiration
of the body, and the negative mind of the body evolves
into an image of its peace and perfection, making visible
the Power of the Ever-Present within.
The mind lives in and senses through every nerve of the
body. The will of the mind is done, consciously and
unconsciously, in every particle of physical substance;
thus, you see your body is responsive to mental force. As
your mind is attuned to the Mind which prevails in the
order and harmony of the universe, the atoms of your
nature will obey the infinite Law which planets and suns
obey, and will manifest the harmony and health which
are the natural expression of the Creator's perfect life.
There is life in unlimited abundance. There is intelligence
and power sufficient for every need, and you are given the
free will to use and organize all the potencies of the Divine
Mind for the building of a temple of health that shall fulfill
your ideal and make your understanding of the goodness
and power of the Great Spirit visible to everyone you
meet.

36
 WONDERFUL POSSIBILITIES

The transcendent force called thought links the human

organism to the inmost source of power, and endows the
human soul with the ability to overcome the limitations of
matter. And whence the birth of this wonderful force of
thought? It is born in matter.
We gain a new concept of the latent Ever-Present Power
crystallized in matter when we realize that matter is the
mother of thoughts. The forces of Mind become involved
in matter before matter evolves thought. Matter is the
mother, Spirit is the father of thought. "Mother Nature"
gives birth to intelligence, the seed of which is from the
Creator.
All so-called matter is a storehouse of potential life and
energy; it is the intelligence and power of the Universal
Mind crystallized and at rest; it is the embodiment of the
mighty forces and energies of the All Mind; it is the negative
pole of the battery of life, and every power and quality
of the Divine Mind will be found expressed to some degree
in this visible nature of the Ever-Present Creator.
In the history of the evolution of the world we read that
the nebulous fire-mist crystallized into a planet of solid
rock. Through the eons of time the solid rock evolved from
its substance all the forms of life and all the forms of
intelligence with which the planet is graced at the present
time. Think of it! From the rock, humanity's form has
come, and before that, from the stars. All the glory and
beauty in the world were stored as a possibility in that
ancient granite sphere. Does it not awaken within us a
new sense of the presence of power, of Omnipotence, to
think of the vast possibilities of life stored within the simplest
lump of clay? We call it dirt. We tread under foot,
with a feeling of repugnance, the mother of our physical
forces and faculties, and do not recognize her unlimited
possibilities as the negative nature of Omnipotence, of
the Creator.
Truly we are waking to a wonderful vision of the presence
of the Creator, as all and in all. Even materialistic
science has begun to recognize that what was believed to
be dead, inert matter, crystal or metal, has the attribute
of rudimentary sensation. So , the truth long promulgated
by Mental Science, that All is Mind, is now being
demonstrated as fact by conservative, materialistic science.
Thought is matter in motion. Thought is the most refined,

37
the most potent activity of matter. The organism
of mankind is the product of the progressive evolution of
matter, inspired by the indwelling Presence of the Infinite
Spirit; from this most complex organization of mankind is
born the sublime product called thought, that imponderable
spiritual power which transcends the laws ofnegative
existence.
In humanity, matter houses a life-form that is self-conscious
and intelligent. Omnipotence has evolved a
creation of self-conscious maturity. The utmost capacity
of mortal understanding cannot comprehend what the
deific principle, omni-active, has already accomplished.
How shall we grasp the wonders that lie before us in the
unfolding future? We now know that matter is undeveloped
mind; that the attributes and potencies of the
Creator slumber in matter.
Through the ages of evolution every type of animal has
demonstrated a little more development of the brain
substance; we are gradually increasing our
thought-producing capacity. The brain is of finer texture and
the nervous system is more complex in the human than in
the animal form. The force generated in the brain and
present in all the nerves is the thinker and the doer, the
personality.
Every active creature is a demonstration of the power of
mind over matter. The lifting of the hand is the revelation
of the power of thought over matter. We have been
exercising dominion over our flesh without being
conscious of the fact, and without realizing the
possibilities of conscious control in that very dominion.
The body is an electromagnetic battery for the generation
of mental energy.
Having come to the recognition of the truth that I am all
mind, that every cell of my body has the capacity for
intelligent action and is responsive to my will, I desire to
cultivate this latent mind of my flesh so that my will shall
be done throughout my whole mental organization. How
shall I proceed?
The animal is an undeveloped and transitional form of
the mind that reaches a higher state of development in
humanity. Now that we have attained to maturity, with
self-conscious understanding of our possibilities as
mental creatures, let us lay aside the propensities and
the selfish habits of animals for the full enjoyment and

38
expansion of our mental powers. Until humanity has
gained conscious dominion over the animal propensities
and turned all the sexual force into mental power obedient
to its will, it has not become initiated into the real
enjoyment of life nor has it made conditions for the
permanent health of its body. Perfect health of body, as
well as the continual regeneration of the tissues, to the
sublimation of old age, is possible for all by the application
of this principle of the conservation of vital energy,
along with the conscious control of the organs by the will.
The brain is not limited to the cavity in the skull. It
extends the ramifications of its structure through the
whole organism. As the mind of an animal may be
developed in intelligence, so may these centers of mental
energy within the body be developed to a degree of
intelligence equal to the main center in the head. We can
direct the intelligent force of our thought to any organ in the
body and cooperate with the intelligence in the organ to
stimulate its renewal in strength and restoration to
health.
We have established that we have the ability to direct
an intelligent force within us which is capable of
reorganizing the substance and structure of the flesh. As a
result, we can so infuse the body with thought force that
its latent intelligence will be developed. With the awakening
of new intelligence in our flesh will come new vitality
and new power, until the will has the vast majority of its
cells so responsively obedient that it is almighty in its
organism, and discord and disease can no longer enter.
Every center will be sensitive to thought, and will
generate sufficient thought to carry on the work of its
department perfectly. All the senses will be attuned to a
new octave of vibration, giving birth to clairvoyance,
clairaudience, and psychometry; and so spiritual will the
whole mind become that the intuition of humanity will be
able to partake of all the wisdom stored in the omniscient
Mind.

39
 I AM ALL MIND

CONSIDER THIS TRUTH, FOR IT IS THE KEY TO DOMINION

The body is held in active organization by the mind. The

mind is the positive pole and the body is the negative pole
of the human battery. The food elements taken into the
body are of the negative mind of the Whole, the substance
of the negative pole of the Universal Mind; and the individual
mind assimilates from the food taken into the body and from
the atmosphere elements like unto itself, which it organizes
into the visible expression of itself. The negative pole of the
human battery is just as important as the positive pole, and
must be cared for and supplied with the proper elements in
order to form a perfect battery for the production of thought
power, just as the battery which produces electric force must
be fed with proper chemical elements to ensure a current.
It must be borne in mind that the positive mind is the
organizing power, and every cell in the body is a particle of
mind substance, held in obedience to the polarizing
power of that positive mind. The cells that compose the
flesh are bodies of thoughts. Every cell of the body is
thought incarnated, and the organs, which are made up
of great multitudes of cells, can be trained by the positive
mind of the individual; they can be infused with positive
thoughts, so that the cells and organs will progress in
intelligence and manifest more of life, health, and perfection,
as the mind becomes more and more conscious of its
wonderful organizing power.
The progress of the individual toward self-mastery is
real only to the degree that one brings the negative mind
into a higher realization of Consciousness, and causes
each particle of one's physical cosmos to evolve and show
forth the divine intelligence which has been appropriated
and individualized around that person's positive I AM
center.
Negative or base thoughts and desires fill humanity's
nature with a consuming fire, which poisons the blood
and burns out the nerve centers. This causes disease
and pain in the body, and weakness and discouragement
to the mind, hindering the human organism from enjoying
the peaceful, vitalizing influx which flows from the
soul life. Joy and satisfaction are attributes of the All
Mind, and the soul, as an individualized expression of the
Over-Soul, contains all the essentials of happiness within
itself, and can impart the only true happiness to its
human mind and body to the degree that it can gain full

40
and free expression through the positive and negative
poles of mind in which it is organized.
Through pure and righteous thinking, or knowledge of
the All-Good, the mind becomes the conscious thinking
instrument of the soul. The thoughts are filled with the
positive light and joy of the soul. In this way the soul,
through education, gains dominion over the various
faculties of the mind, and inspires the will to hold the
lower realms of the body consciousness in subjection,
until all thoughts and desires are educated and
transmuted into positive, pure intelligence, like unto the
wisdom of the Ever-Present Creator.

41
 A GENERAL HEALING TREATMENT

Retire by yourself and study and meditate upon these

thoughts. When the mind is filled with them, lie down and
relax the body and mind so that the healing power may
operate freely. Practice daily an hour or more.
O Thou omnipresent Creator of all forms of life, I am
one with Thee; I am Thee embodied and expressed, and
Thee I praise for my life and all of life's blessings.
My soul is a living, radiant form of life; a glorious,
intelligent individualization of the universal Life and
Spirit of the Ever-Present.
My soul, my real, everlasting self, is alive in the
Creator, and every cell and organ and function of my body
is infused with the living, intelligent power of my soul. I
am alive with the life of the Creator.
I am filled with the invigorating vitality of everlasting
Life.
I am an expression of the most positive healing Potency
in existence, and my recognition that I am Life itself
thrills my whole nature with divine healing energy.
I am invigorated and healed by the everlasting
Presence of the living Creator.
Pain cannot exist in any part of my nature, because the
merciful, soothing power of Life is now satisfying every
cell with the oil of joy. The joyous sunshine of Life
penetrates into every part of my being, and with glad
understanding I affirm:
I am life, joyous life; I am peaceful, perfect life.
I feel that I am united with the universal life and power
of the Creator, and all that joyous strength is focused in
my nature, making me so positive with the All One's
perfect energy that all disease and pain are overcome and
transformed into harmony and perfection.
I am in tune with Infinite Life and peace.
My brain polarizes the intelligence and wisdom of life.
All the faculties of my soul find free expression through
the sensitive substance of my brain.
My sex nature is pure, holy life, free from all condemnations
of sin or impurity. These organs generate unlimited vitality and
strength, sufficient for all my needs.
My heart is filled with the peace and love of the
Ever-Present life, and I am satisfied. My heart cannot be
overcome by fear or any oppressive feeling, for it is strong with
the love of life. My blood is enriched and vitalized with the

42
 goodness and purity of life.
All is life. There is no lack of happy, healing life. I
inspire life with every breath, and my lungs appropriate
the ozone of life, which feeds my blood with the exhilarating
manna of sun-blessed atmosphere.
My stomach is a battery of digestive force and energy,
constantly assimilating food; it rejoices in the task, for it
is an intelligent digestive magnet for all the elements that
the body requires. I am the digestive energy of Almighty
Life.
I recognize that all my organs are infused with my soul
intelligence, and all are conscious of their duties and
work together for the health and harmony of my
organism.
The cleansing Spirit of Life flows freely through my
bowels, and their functions are not hindered by any
restrictive thoughts, for I do not withhold the free mercy
of the Creator from any creature.
My liver is the activity of life, energized with positive
intelligence.
I recognize that every atom of my spleen is intelligent,
living substance, obeying the soul's purpose in my
physical economy.
I praise the power of endless life and activity in my
kidneys, and know that they are the peaceful, perfect
substance of life, ever active in cleansing my nature of all
impurities.
I can outgrow and overcome every weakness, for I am a
magnet for the Vitality that fills all space. I am constantly
drawing in the vitality from the all-pervading life of the
Creator in nature. I praise Thee, O Thou all-wise and
all-loving Presence, that Thou art imparting to me the power
of Thy mighty Life which enables me to outgrow every
defective and inharmonious condition, and I realize the
power and happiness imparted from Thy indwelling Presence
in my soul.
Glory to the Creator for the healing, perfecting power of
Life. All is Life.
These words may not seem true when they are first
read, but by constant repetition they will create a strong
faith in the power and presence of Life, which will allow
the Spirit of Life to come into expression.
Faith can be created by the wonderful power of the
word of truth, and through faith the healing power of the
Creator can come into manifestation.

43
 TEACH YOUR BODY TO THINK!

Mental activity in animal and human organisms

develops brain centers. The more intelligent the animal or
man, the more highly developed are the brain centers. It
is a common notion that the brain is limited to the head,
but in spiritual terms this is not true. Wherever in the
body there is need of mental action, there the nerve
substance provides the intelligent energy to accomplish
any task.
There is much more intelligent activity going on in the
body than we are conscious of. All the subconscious or
involuntary actions of mind, like the beating of the heart
or the breathing of the lungs during sleep, are carried on
by the instinctive operation of the mind which is active in
the various nerve plexuses located in different parts of
the body.
A vast amount of intelligence is active through these
little nerve centers. All hereditary thoughts and feelings,
and all the old thought of the past which seems to be
outgrown, are stored in the subjective chambers of thought,
and through these sub-centers influence the formation of
the body's substance in health or disease. The hypnotist
gets control over the intelligence of the subjective mind
which is active through these centers, and performs
wonders of healing because this subjective intelligence is
the organizing power of the body.
We can gain control of all these subconscious centers
of mental activity, and thus gain dominion over the whole
body. For instance, the heart is controlled by a sub-brain
or plexus. This plexus may be influenced by conscious
thought. We can will that strength shall be developed in
the heart, and the message will travel through the nerves
and take up its abode in the heart center, and from there
influence the heart's development in strength. So with
every center.
Humanity is superior to the animal in intelligence because
we have been created with the capacity of conscious thought
and we have been given the ability to further develop the
mental activities of the master brain. How wonderful will be the
human brains of the future which will so develop the activity of
every brain center in the body that they will be able to think
consciously in every center. They will think in every part of the
body. They will have full control over every function of the

44
body. They will be able to do consciously whatever is now
done by the hypnotized subject, and more. The hypnotized
subject, in whom the subjective mind is obedient to the
will of the operator, becomes clairvoyant. They can see
what is happening at a distance; or see all the activities in
their own body or the body of another person, and diagnose
diseased conditions. They can travel in thought to
any part of the world and feel and hear anything, anywhere.
They can be clairaudient and they can read the thoughts
of others and communicate with departed spirits. In fact,
they can seem to be in touch with any mind in the whole
mental universe. Not all hypnotized subjects can do all
these things, but according to their mental development
they can see or feel or hear supernaturally,
that is, beyond the limitations of the natural senses.
The brain centers must be purified of all the limiting
beliefs of the race mind, meaning those deeply embedded
concepts or thought forms that have been handed down
through generations by our mothers, fathers, teachers,
preachers, etc., in order that a new life may flow through
them for the manifestation of perfect health. We cannot
do what we do not believe possible, so faith in our unlimited
possibilities must be developed. We must free the
mind, conscious and subconscious, from all ideas of
bondage and limitation. For instance, the sex center is
limited in its expression of life by the condemnation of
millions of minds. All the life flowing into that center is
stamped as impure. Therefore, the thought of impurity
must be eliminated from the mind and the sexual plexus
must be freed from the belief that its life is impure. Its life
is of the Creator, born of that pure Spirit. If we believe that
any organ is impure or limited in its operation, we turn
the intelligence in that organ to creating impurity and to
limiting the flow of life. There is a hint here which applies
to all departments of thought.
Special attention should be given to healing, harmonizing
and increasing the power of the solar plexus or abdominal
brain. This center controls the digestion and assimilation of
food. When it becomes disturbed, the whole body suffers. To
try to restore the deficiency by overeating only increases its
burden, causing it to draw for strength upon the brain, heart
and other centers. Neuralgia, headache, nervous heart trouble

45
and many other painful symptoms are related to weakness of
the solar plexus.
In blessing or centering the thought upon any part of
the body, there is an increased power given to that part by
placing the hands, or the tips of the fingers, over the part
treated. When treating the solar plexus, place the tips of
the fingers over the stomach. The following affirmations
will suggest others:
My solar plexus is alive with omnipotent Life.
My solar plexus is alive with soul power from the
Creator.
A living, glowing sun of vital power is situated in my
solar plexus, filling my digestive organs with unlimited
strength and power.
Unlimited life, strength, and power flow into this center,
enabling the organs to carry on the digestion and
assimilation of food with ease.
This center is storing up power to distribute to all the
other nerve centers.
This center is a living dynamo of vital force, radiating its
intelligent force to every part of the body.

46
 USE YOUR WILL TO OVERCOME

If your food distresses you, hold the following in mind

very positively:
I know that what I have eaten will not upset or distress
my stomach. I know that food is an exceedingly negative
thing in comparison with my will, and I deny that it has
any power to disturb me. My will is one with the will of the
Creator, whose mighty will, focused in my will, gives me
the power to overcome. I am more positive than any food,
and food must and does serve me. I will not, and hence do
not, serve it. I am master of all my bodily functions, and I
will demonstrate this fact and prove my true position
amidst my surroundings.
I will rise to meet any distressing symptoms with all the
assertive power of my individuality, and I resolve to be
free of pain or distress in head or stomach. Nothing can
compel me, to submit to such a negative cause. The
Creator has given me dominion over all things. I know
this! I am free. My understanding and my will power now
combine to bring this result.
Understanding and will power must work together;
neither can produce the result alone, for understanding
is the implement with which the will works. The will is the
master, but both are essential to complete execution.
First, the understanding of the goodness and power of the
Creator in everything; and second, the constantly
increasing will and determination to make that goodness
and power manifest in all ways. Understanding will
accomplish nothing if you have not the will to execute. All
should apply themselves to the study which begets
understanding of truth, as it is needed for mental
building material.
As you gain understanding, cultivate a strong, positive
determination to use this wonderful material in building
a firm foundation on which you can erect a grand and
beautiful life structure for yourself. Never let anything
stand in your way; keep on trying in the face of every
obstacle; and let nothing make you yield. With such
determination as this, you will continue to add to your
understanding and you can overcome every obstacle. You
can face every force in your world. It matters not how
powerful it is, and it will, in the proper time and place,
become subservient to your mastership. You are a divine

47
organization of intelligence and love and will combined,
and as you keep on striving and aggregating strength
through the force of your determination, all things, by a
divine law, will give way. However, remember, subservient
things acknowledge you only in the proportion that
you assert your self. All things are bound, through this
positive assertion, to acknowledge your mastery. You can
do all you will to do; this is dominion.
Bless all the sick and ailing ones, for they do not understand
the power vested in them. We tell them all that they
need not lack health, for health and strength are organized
in them; such is the law of life. The beliefs that they
manifest are not absolute truth; they are negative beliefs.
They can be overcome by positive beliefs, founded on
living Truth. Life and Health are two great realities that
have always existed and will continue to exist forever.

48
 THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
AND
SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS

The nature of the human mind consists of three states

of consciousness – physical, mental, and soul consciousness.
The deductions of scientific minds embrace the explored field
of the conscious mind, and the partially explored field of the
subconscious mind, but do not take into consideration that
mystical but most potent field of soul consciousness. To them
the mind is the soul.
We know from the development of our own soul perception
that the soul is a deific individual descended from the
inner sphere of Omniscience to the outer sphere of mortal
consciousness; that it is a Seed of Divinity planted in the
earth-mind. Its roots are in the earth, but its life and
powers are from the Ever-Present Creator Who will
appropriate it for Divine purposes as it matures.
The soul is a Word of eternal wisdom, life, and love, that
shall increase in creative potency throughout eternity.
The conscious and subconscious degrees of mind constitute
the personality, but the soul is the real individual.
When the awakened soul speaks, it is the voice of the
Creator.
Minds of materialistic tendency are apt to become as
deeply engrossed in the phenomena of the subconscious
mind, or "subliminal consciousness", as scientists have
been in the phenomena of the material realm. It is in
accord with the process of mental evolution that it should
be so. Those who want to know the Creator and who desire to
find the inspiration and healing of that divine Life
and Power, must look to the eternal Principle of Truth, to
the Creator in fact, though they have only intuition as a
guide. Intuition, which reveals the eternal principles of
the divine nature since it is the Voice of the Creator
personalized, will demonstrate that it is the supreme
authority for truth. If intuition is followed, the soul will be
activated and fertilized by recognition and devoted love
until it becomes a dominant power, healing and spiritualizing
both the conscious and subconscious states of mind
and preparing them for the grandest and mightiest
exhibition of spiritual power.
The subconscious mind is an organization of all the
thoughts and feelings, of all the mental activities of the
mind, from earliest infancy. In order to rightly comprehend

49
 the subconscious mind, it must be clearly understood that
mental forces organize into concrete form in the mental plane
In the same way that physical forces aggregate themselves
into material forms in the physical world. The mind, then, is a
mental body generated from the forces of thought and feeling.
It is a spiritual entity. It is the formed character of the person,
and just as soon as it becomes a positive character it changes
the hereditary form of the flesh to express its own
development. Negative characters have not the mental power
to transform the flesh; therefore, it is the first duty of mental
instruction to develop a more positive character-body by
strong affirmation.
When a thought seems to have been forgotten, it still
exists in the subconscious state of the mind. Persons and
things long forgotten will reappear during the dream
activity of the subconscious mind; faces will appear as
fresh as when seen years before. The phenomena of
hypnotism open up wonderful facts in regard to the
possibilities and powers of the subconscious realm.
The whole mind of humanity may be compared to a
circle through which a line is drawn, dividing it into two
segments: 1 to 99, and 99 to 100. The one percent
segment of the circle represents as much of the thought
activity of the personality as the brain is conscious of; the
remaining 99 percent of the circle represents the
subconscious storehouse of mental activity.
All is mind, and as a consequence, the planet, as a
whole, has a mind, a subconscious mental realm in
which thought activities and mind bodies have their existence.
As there is a universal space which provides the
elements for our physical bodies and their development,
so there is a universal Mind in which the mental organization
has its life and expression – a realm in which the
mind-body or spiritual body exists after its physical
counterpart dies. It is a realm full of mysteries to the
seeker after the phenomena of the subconscious, full of
paradoxes, incongruities, and deceptions to those who do
not accept the spiritualists' explanation of spirit communion or
the presence of undeveloped spirits. What a
pleasure it is to some mischievous spirit to play pranks
upon some very learned man who, in earnest search for
knowledge, has tapped the wires of the "subliminal
consciousness" through his hypnotized subject. He does not
see the quality or character of the spirit personality that

50
responds to him from the invisible realm of mind, and he
is very likely to come to the conclusion, as some scientists
already have, that the subliminal consciousness is a
grand deceiver.
Now, in the subconscious side of the mind we find the
intelligent force which must be properly trained and
developed toward the healing of the body. There are two
general methods in use, and they are both good. One is
the method called "suggestion," whereby the subconscious
mind is educated to turn its wonderful power to
the healing of the diseased parts of the body. This
method, persistently applied, will bring very beneficial
results. The second method consists in thinking and
speaking absolute truth. The suggestionist does not believe
that there is anything deeper than the subconscious
mind, and therefore he claims that so-called statements
of truth are useful to those who imagine a soul, because
they work according to the law of suggestion.
Our position is this: The conscious and subconscious
degrees of the human mind are evolutions from matter
and as such are passive tools of the soul being; they are
highly refined matter, or negative and undeveloped mind.
The nature of the Creator is eternal and omnipotent
power, the source of all life and being. The soul of a
human being is from above the mortal sphere of mind; it
is an individualization of the Creator's Consciousness
and partakes of the power of the Ever-Present; it is the
image and likeness of the Creator in human form. The
soul, then, is the key to immortal life and power. It must
be recognized and awakened. To awaken and manifest
this divine power in us, we affirm its being as a living
truth. We take it as the foundation of our being, and upon
it we build our mental habitation. It is the keynote of the
mind, and if we sound this keynote, all the mind,
conscious and subconscious, will come into harmony.
We affirm: I Am Life; because the soul is eternal Life.
We affirm: I am Health and Peace and Perfection; because
the true I, the real individual, the soul, is potentially the
Health, Peace and Perfection of the Creator. We affirm: I
am the Wisdom of the Creator; because the soul is an
organism vibrant with the light of the Infinite Consciousness.
The soul must be awakened by living the life of truth,
expressing the thoughts and feelings of truth throughout
every part of the mind and body, in order that the divine
image of perfection may transform the whole mind into a

51
heavenly, harmonious character. Then will the Spirit of
the Creator speak in the soul, giving angelic wisdom, and
the soul will know the way of Life eternal and walk
therein.
Too many minds are passive recipients of impressions
which come as suggestions from other minds, either incarnate
or discarnate. A mind that is not strong in its own individuality,
and is therefore vulnerable to the suggestions of a stronger
personality, is termed a negative mind. Remember that every
mind is sending out mental messages, and these messages
enter and impress themselves upon negative minds. They
may be good suggestions or they may be harmful. Many a
negative mind has suddenly been inspired to commit a murder
through the suggestion and desire of another personality,
either incarnate or discarnate. A strong mind desired that his
enemy should die; a negative mind fulfilled the desire.
Execution does not cure criminals; it only sets them free
to act out their vengeance in the mental atmosphere of
the planet.
"Sitting in the silence", to the degree that one induces
passive receptivity, will open the mind to all sorts of
impressions and suggestions from the invisible realm of
Mind. To gain soul wisdom, affirmations of divine truth
must be made until the whole mind is attuned to soul
positiveness; until the mind is vibrant with the joy of soul
realization. Then the stillness that follows will not be
negative; it will be a passivity overflowing with peace and
health for the body, and in the soul communion that
follows, the clouds of mortal darkness will be dissolved
and the way will become clear, the guidance sure.
The discovery of electricity and other physical forces
has transformed the manner of existence on the planet,
but these discoveries have brought neither peace nor
health to humanity. Now that the occult forces of the
subliminal realm are being tapped, terrific forces,
marvelous mysteries, will be discovered; but these things
will not bring peace or happiness to humanity.
What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but
does not discover that which is of more value than the
world, his own soul?
Only by the harmonious unfoldment of the soul and
the subjection of the mind to its proper expression of
righteousness and truth, will the peace of the Creator and
the happiness of the angelic life be realized by mortals.

52
When the awakened soul affirms the truth of its eternal
Being, it is filled with the Spirit of Truth; it convinces the
mind and body of its power; it compels health and
harmony to be; soul beauty and grace are impressed
upon and expressed through the negative nature, and the
Creator becomes manifest in the flesh.

53
 BECOMING ATTUNED TO THE SPIRIT

Purity in thought, word, and deed is absolutely essential

to any degree of health or spiritual power.
Do you desire health from the Creator, permanent
health, which will bring to you the ever-increasing joy of
conscious growth in spiritual dominion? Then you must
develop the conditions of mind that will facilitate the
influx of the Vitality of Eternity. The Creator's universal
Mind is the life and mind of all things, but this power
within you, which brings health and peace in its tender
ministrations, abides in the more refined states of the
universal Mind. Only those who purify and refine their
thoughts and feelings will enjoy the blessed realization of
the All Perfect Ever-Presence.
The greatest wisdom and the mightiest love are realized
and expressed by the holiest angels and archangels of
Heaven. When the emanations from the angelic sphere
combine with those of the awakened soul, the healing
power is strongest, because the emanations from the
angels are so imbued with universal love and sympathy
that their curative potency is enhanced thereby. The
Ever-Presence is organized in the angelic souls of Heaven,
and through these angels, who once lived and suffered as
mortals, this beneficent Spirit is directed in sympathy
and compassion to the healing and uplifting of mortals,
wherever they can find an open door.
We might desire, with all the intensity of our natures,
to do something to save a person who was unconscious
down amid the noxious gases of a mine, but the conditions
would not allow us to enter. To the angelic overshadowing,
accustomed to life in the most harmonious states of the Higher
Realms, the lust and discordant feelings of human life are as
disturbing and bewildering as the gases of the mine would be
to us. The magnetic and mental emanations from mortals who
are living in the enjoyment of the ordinary pleasures of life,
without aspiration for heavenly truth, fill the mental atmosphere
with odors and vibrations so strong and disagreeable that only
unregenerate spirits, not long departed from the earth plane,
can remain in close association with friends still incarnate. The
high and holy ministers of the Creator who inhabit Eternity
cannot breathe and hold their consciousness amid such dense
vapors to the best effect. The Creator longs with infinite

54
Love to bring each and every one to the conscious realization
of a greater peace and perfection, and it is the perpetual
operation of Divine Love that is gradually lifting humanity from
darkness to Divinity.
Locked up in the chemical elements of the earth one
can find far greater power than dynamite or electricity,
and by concentration of thought, humanity may discover,
and by mechanical skill operate, this power. Stored in the
mental spaces all about and within the mind of humanity is a
greater power, and this power is being discovered and applied
in suggestion, thought transference, and through the
mediumistic phenomena where invisible minds or mental
forces become clothed for a time in the trappings of matter and
seem to overcome all known laws of physics by levitating
material objects. This same mental power is being used to heal
disease and create lives of positive fulfillment.
There is a power in the Creator much greater and more
satisfying in its operation than either material or mental
power. Behind and within the purest degrees of all the
universal forces of existence abides the Supreme Controller,
the Spirit of the Ever-Present, Who is forever evolving
and transforming all energies and forces to subserve Its
purpose of wisdom and love. It was this transforming
power of the Creator's Love that the prophets of old
discovered and revealed to mortals; and it is this Spirit of
universal Love which each of us must realize if we would
know the Creator.
By purity of life we prepare the physical temple, and by
deep devotion and holy aspiration we stir the depths of
the soul into intense activity, and become a magnet for
the indwelling Spirit. The soul is of the Creator; it came
from that Infinite Source, and through it the spirit will
express to the mind and body.
The soul in its incarnation into a form of flesh is like a
seed that has been sown in the earth. It must be watered
by our thoughts of recognition and quickened by our deep
feelings of love for the Creator. It has an affinity only for
the truth of the Creator's love; the thoughts and feelings
generated by earthly things becloud its faculties and hinder
it from receiving its daily sustenance from the I AM
within. If the mind of a person is centered wholly upon
material things, the soul becomes isolated from the
Creator. If the soul is strong and has had some degree of
awakening, it will tire of the dreariness and darkness of

55
mortal vibrations, and when an occasion offers itself by
way of sickness or weakness of the body, it will sever its
connections with the flesh and return to the freer state of
spiritual life, causing death to the body. But it will still be
burdened by its personal mind, which it must regenerate.
The work of regeneration would have been much easier
had the personal mind received and accepted the knowledge
of spiritual truths before death, because truth received from the
mortal plane of understanding produces a deeper impression
on the mind accustomed to dealing with material things.
If the soul is not awakened, it cannot gain much realization of
its oneness with the life and wisdom of the Creator, and
consequently will not be able to recreate and hold the flesh in
harmony and health. We very often find that it is sufficient to
educate the soul to a realization of its oneness with the Creator
in order to bring health to the flesh.
There is no permanent health or happiness outside the
realization of the heavenly Presence. Many seek for
health, as they have sought for happiness, in material
things, and find it not; while if they would but cultivate
conditions for the expression of the healing Love of the
Creator, much disease and suffering would be eliminated
from their lives. Some reply that they have known pure
and devoted seekers of light and truth who have been the
greatest sufferers. We know that they were not living in
the knowledge of the omnipotence of the Creator's love
and goodness; in other words, they believed in the power
of evil to frustrate the Creator's omnipotent Goodness,
and according to the laws of thought, their beliefs in the
powers of darkness hindered the manifestation of the
spirit of Love in their lives. Their fears and mistaken
beliefs made them negative and receptive to inharmonious
conditions. Their minds were not bright, hopeful
and joyous with positive thoughts derived from a divine
faith, and so the Spirit could not enter.
We have known of those who have been deeply interested
in all that tended to help humanity. They were faithful in doing
church work, active in works of charity, giving most of their time
and energy to others; and then as they found their strength
diminishing, and had many disturbances in their financial
conditions, they began to doubt God. They had done much for
God, and what was God doing for them? God did not seem to
care how much they suffered or how poor they became. Was
God just?
Did God love them? Was there any God of love and wisdom at
all?

56
 They fulfilled the second part of the commandment to
love their neighbor as themselves, but failed to see the
depth and breadth of the first part of the injunction:
"Thou shalt love thy God with all thy heart, mind, soul
and strength." They used their own strength and not the
strength of the Ever-Present within them. If they had lived
in the constant inspiration of the Creator's Presence,
their souls would have gained new power daily; wisdom
and vitality and a living spontaneity of joy would have
filled their lives with gladness and health. They would
disease from themselves and others. I know these things
to be true, for I have lived in the old way and reaped pain
and discouragement, and I have lived in the new way and
reaped joyous health and spiritual prosperity. I find that
the Spirit of Love makes of us magnets for all things that
we may desire when we live with it and allow its power to
express through us. But if we do not spend some time
daily in devotion to the All One, it may be readily seen that
the Creator's Presence will not be so strong in us for the
manifestation of either Divine Wisdom, Divine Health or
Divine Prosperity.
We know that if we seek first the Ever-Present Power
within us, and not our own power, all things will be
possible.

57
 A POWERFUL STATEMENT

People have been taught for ages that evil is a self-existent

force; that there is a conscious power, or devil, working against
the good of humanity.
This is a negative belief arising from ignorance, or a
partial knowledge of the Goodness of the All Intelligence.
Positive knowledge reveals the truth that the intelligence in
humanity, bird, beast, and all created things is
good; in fact, very good. All created things are the intelligence
of the Creator, manifesting and evolving through the
successive steps of progressive life. All are growing
continually from negative to positive through the grades
of developing intelligence, and will finally reach the stage
of development which will enable them to grasp the
positive knowledge of eternal Truth, and work
consciously with the one Intelligence, the Father-Mother
of all created things.
All is good. Every step is good, even though it is a
misstep or seeming mistake; for through their mistakes,
the Creator's children learn which paths do not lead to
happiness, and thus they advance in knowledge.
This faith that all is good can become the salvation of
each and every one from all the erroneous, devitalizing
beliefs of one's culture.
We should learn to recognize that all life is truth on its
own plane, and that in evolving and progressing, minds
live in the experience of truth negative before advancing
into the realm of truth positive. This will give us the
patience of the Creator with all the ideas and creeds of
mortal mind which past cultures have evolved as they
progressed through negative mind or nescience:

All is Good!

This is positive knowledge. This is the faith in the

wisdom of the Creator that overcomes mortal thoughts
and beliefs. This is the revelation of Truth that heals and
harmonizes all elements of mind and body.
There is no real, or positive, evil, only developed and
undeveloped, ripe and unripe, enlightened or
unenlightened.
All so-called evil beings and actions are in and of
ignorance and lack of development.
There may be cultural thoughts, or cultural beliefs,
that have grown positive through ages of existence and

58
universal acceptance; nevertheless, they live in and
belong to the negative sphere of Mind, have no real principles
of reason or truth to substantiate them, and have no
real power. On the other hand, thoughts of Truth are
alive with the positive force of the Spirit of the Creator,
and the mind that expresses them is in rapport with the
minds of angels and archangels and every healing, illuminating
potency in the universe of the Divine Mind.
Every mind and every condition of ignorance can be
developed into the more positive condition of knowledge
and health through the omniscient power inherent in the
thought, ALL IS GOOD.
Everything, no matter how evil it appears, is undeveloped in
the Creator's plan, and will grow and progress to a
more intelligent condition under the fertile recognition
that all is good.
Nothing, nothing can turn against one who lives in the
positive recognition and avowal of this ever-potent truth.
This one statement of absolute Good, that one's reasoning
powers can glory and rejoice in for weeks and months,
will prove itself the voice of Omnipotence by making all of
one's mind and world good and prosperous, and it will
glorify one's whole nature with the exhilarating life that
comes to those whose minds are wholly in tune with the
Infinite Good.
Much of the pain, disease, and poverty of a patient is
the manifestation of negative beliefs. In order to make a
convincing impression upon the mind of the patient, the
healer must be conscious of the power of thought and be
thoroughly imbued with the knowledge that all is good.
The healer's mind must be so enthusiastic in this
knowledge of truth that it will be positive to the patient's
negative belief that some evil exists and possesses the
power to harm.
Holding the patient in the power of true thought for a
space of time, radiating its light through their mind and
directing its forces into the parts of their body in need of
education, the healer will carry the conviction of the
Spirit to the patient and restore the body to a more positive
state of health and peace.
This supreme positiveness is the highest development
of healing thought, enabling the goodness of Truth to assume
command of the negative mind and remodel it after
its own pattern of perfection. In the treatment, the whole
mind becomes so devoted and concentrated to healing
thought that there are times when it loses itself in the
thoughtless , wordless consciousness of Power, becoming

59
the instrument of the miraculous healing influence of the
Life Ever-Present.
This is the wonder-working law which healers have
occasionally fulfilled. When those desirous of healing for
self or others have fulfilled this law, either consciously or
unconsciously, the results have been all that could be
desired, the healing perfect and complete.
We shall grow more perfect in the power to heal as we
lose our mortal misconceptions, as we forget all thoughts
of a mortal, material world of evil in the contemplation of
the truth that we stand face to face with the living Soul of
the grand universe, expressing its vital energy in every
atom of this splendid cosmos of manifested Intelligence.

60
 THE MYSTERY OF OMNIPOTENCE

Is there a personal or impersonal God who has free rein

to function in and with the universe? Is there an omnipotent
Intelligence guiding and controlling the operation of
natural law? The atheist quickly answers no. To the
atheist there is only a universal, blind force that operates
as immutable and unchangeable law. The agnostic sees
that there is undeviating law operative everywhere; but is
uncertain as to how that fact should be negotiated The
orthodox thinker claims that the Lord is omnipotent but
he cannot give a reason why the Lord should allow
cataclysms to interfere with the peace of humanity.
I promulgate the belief held by a great number of the
advanced thinkers of the day that there is an omnipotent
and universal Intelligence prevalent in the universe, but
that there are different degrees of manifestation of this
one almighty Power. The physical universe of matter is
the negative form of this great Power, or Force, the mode
of expression of which some call Natural Law; but it is a
manifestation of the sentient Intelligence of the Ever-Present,
nevertheless. The vibrations of force exist in various
degrees, from the gross vibrations of physical substance
to the finest vibrations of mental energy. As the forms of
life come into manifestation, they organize and exhibit
this universal Power in varying degrees of complexity,
from the microorganism to humanity. As forms evolve
and become more complex, they come in touch with finer
and finer degrees of force. At first they have only the
power to organize life. Later there is born the ability to
feel, which develops, still later in evolution, into the
animal's faculty of instinct, (another name for the All
Intelligence within) , which is a certain responsiveness to
the mental waves of Infinite Intelligence. This faculty,
which we call instinct in the animal, can be developed as
intuition in humanity so that they can resonate with the
finer and deeper waves of Omniscience that vibrate
through the mighty Mind of the Creator.
When the great processes of evolution (which is the
methodical and progressive action of Infinite Mind, not
mere physical development) , working so ceaselessly and
tirelessly in Nature's wonder house, brought the complex
structure and brain of humanity into manifestation, we
can say that the Creator made human beings out of the
dust of the earth. Because these highly organized beings

61
are capable of responding to the Divine Spirit that
inhabits the inmost recesses of existence, we can also say
that the Creator breathed into humanity the breath of
Life. Therefore, the incarnate human form is the mediator
between the highest and lowest states of being, and in it
are organized the vibrations which allow each person to
be receptive to, and communicate with, every region in
the physical and spiritual universe.
We are taught that each form in creation is composed of
atoms that are vibrating to and fro with intense rapidity,
and that the atoms themselves are but forms of vibrating
force or energy. The tables, chairs, and books in our
rooms, and even the walls, are masses of vibrations.
Though they appear dense to us, they are actually
composed of more space than solid substance. The
atmosphere is also a vibrating substance; in fact, all life is
vibration or energy in different degrees of intensity. The
finer vibrations interpenetrate those more gross. For
instance, the vibrations called X-rays penetrate through
flesh and through wood without being disturbed by the
vibrations of those substances; and there are still finer
vibrations than those of the X-ray.
You can imagine a form composed of X-ray vibrations
being present in the spot occupied by a grosser form,
without one form being sensibly present to the other.
Thinking along the same line, you can see how the mighty
vibrations of the Creator can be present in the room and
in one's body, and all through space, without being directly
evident to the physical senses.
Mankind is a part of the Creator's omnipotence. We see
that creation is not complete without mankind, and that
the Creator utilizes humanity for the fulfillment of divine
manifestation, as truly as humans are dependent upon
the Ever-Present for the power and wisdom that will enable
them to gain dominion over the negative and undeveloped
forces of nature.
The resistant granite, the crystal quartz, the beautiful
flower, the graceful tree and the strong and cunning
animal are all parts of the vast intelligence of the Creator,
but they are intelligence in a latent state. Only in the
human form does this intelligence come to
self-consciousness or develop to a knowledge of its power.
It is the privilege and duty of humanity to make the Creator's
will manifest for the benefit of all lesser degrees of
evolving intelligence, and even in humanity there are
degrees of expression of this intelligence. The human

62
race may choose to be receptive only to the vibrations of
animal life and they may live in the sphere of animal
sensation. They may also choose to live in and express
the finer and more interior degrees of their complex
nature, from the intellectual sphere of perception and
understanding to the will sphere of loving and living in
the realization of the omniscient love of the Ever-Present
consciousness, which is the Presence of the Creator
within.
Thus, through mankind, the higher degrees of the
Creator's love and wisdom are opened to the lowliest
degrees and forms of life, and every human being may be
a co-worker with the Creator in lifting all beings to a
higher degree of intelligence and power in the limitless
scale of evolving life. Everyone who radiates the blessing
of love to all creatures, with the understanding that All is
Good, is a mediator between the Creator and creation,
and will realize the great satisfaction that comes from
expressing the qualities and powers of the soul. The birth
and expression of the Love of All in and from the soul will
bring to each one the conviction of individual immortality
as a son or daughter of the Ever-Present, forever working
hand in hand with the Omnipotent Creator in the great
work of glorifying the created universe.
Knowing this great truth of humanity's intimate
relation to the Creator, as agents to sublimate and spiritualize
all substance so that the Creator may be all in all, we can look
forward with prophetic vision to the unfolding future, when
all error or ignorance will be transformed into divine
intelligence. The mind of humanity and of the planet will be so
filled with the harmonizing light and love of the Creator's
Presence that even the processes of nature will become more
orderly and intelligent, as now they are more peaceful and
settled than they were in the past. We visualize a future in
which all disasters from organized forces will come to an end,
and the whole earth will exhibit the fertility and richness, the
grace and harmony of a heavenly kingdom, where the love
of the Creator is paramount in all hearts and throughout
the length and breadth of visible nature.

63
 CULTIVATE YOUR WILL

The omnipotent Will of the Creator is holding worlds

and solar systems in obedience to a harmonious order.
You stand in the highest order of created beings, and you
have the ability to come in direct contact with the divine
Will, to the end that It may express Its purpose of perfection
through your whole nature. Develop the divine Will
within you by expressing It. You can cultivate such a
mighty force of will by the constant assertion, "I am, I
will," that every temptation will be overcome and every
bad habit transformed into good by the awakening of this
mighty attribute of your divinity. These affirmations will
give you the godlike power of dominion:

I am a living Soul of Jehovih's Ever-Presence.

I will realize the majesty and glory of my divine Soul.
I will feel constantly that I am an angel of Light and
Love.
I will exercise my dominion over every negative
condition of body and affairs.
I will conquer all evil.
I will resist all temptations.
I will fill every organ of my nature with healing life.
I will express the perfect life and health that exist in my
soul.
I will become such a magnet of love that harmony and
prosperity will surround me on all sides.
I praise the Creator for this mighty power that is now
mine.

64
 BUILDING THE TEMPLE OF FAITH

You see the beauty of the divine Truth, and now you
desire to build the temple of your mind after its pattern.
You desire to manifest the truth that you now
understand. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for."
Faith is a mental energy that you can cultivate. Every
time you think a thought of truth you are adding one
more word of faith to the mental energy that is building
up your spiritual body. Every time you make a strong
affirmation of the strength, health and prosperity which are
inherent attributes of your soul, you are formulating the
quality of mental energy that your soul can use to come
into strong, perfect manifestation.
The faith that you have generated in the past has been
a negative form of faith. You have not known the wonderful
power of thought, and you have allowed various kinds
of false beliefs to occupy your mind; consequently, your
mind-body, the spiritual body that is formed of your
thoughts, has been open to the influences and beliefs
that fill the mind of the world, and has not realized the
dominion of the Mind of the Creator.
Your mind has exercised a certain negative dominion
over the flesh, and its limiting beliefs are the cause of
much bodily discomfort. All the thinking that has formed
your present mind-body, which now dominates your
physical organism, must be regenerated and transformed into
true intelligence, that the power of the Creator within may
become manifest as your physical healer. This change of mind
comes gradually by the processes of education and growth.
There is an increasing power of mind, as the Presence of the
Creator becomes more and more visible to the understanding.
You are the visible form of an endless stream of vitality
and energy. The love of the Ever-Present broods over you
and is willing to give you of Its almighty strength. The
Creator is your life. The Creator is your intelligence. The
gift of eternal life is yours as fast as you can appropriate
it. There is no limitation placed over you by the love of the
Creator. You are as unlimited as your Source, and you
can think yourself into freer channels of life and expression.
You will feel the glowing fire of the divine Presence
as it begins its work of regenerating your physical nature,
and the thrill of heavenly vitality will convince you that

65
your body is a kingdom of heavenly bliss.
Spend more time daily in thinking and speaking truth
for yourself, with confidence that you are cooperating
with the Creator in building a divine temple for the
Ever-Present to inhabit. Think thus:

I am in the midst of the Almighty forces of the Creator

that are all working for my good. All are working for my
prosperity. I will with all the power of my mind and soul
that all my affairs shall quickly arrange themselves for
the demonstration of my prosperity. Love and justice
reign supreme in all my world. All is Good. The Ever-Present
All Good protects, sustains and prospers me, now
and at all times. I recognize only the good in all beings. My
faith is grounded and unalterably fixed in the Good, and
thus my faith will conquer every belief of evil, and I will by
my true faith hold myself in unity with the powerful Mind
of the I AM.
I am living in the midst of an ocean of vitality and
intelligence. "In the I AM I live and move and have my
being." I am breathing this vitality and strength every moment,
asleep or awake. My stomach is vitalized and able to
assimilate sustenance and strength from all I eat. I love to
eat and absorb strength. I am in tune with all nature and
with the healing power of the Creator, and all things are
giving me of their life and energy. I see and feel that the
whole universe is a vast sea of life, and I am a magnet in
the midst of it all, appropriating all that I need to build a
perfect, healthy body and mind.
I know, O Thou Eternal One, that Thy love holds me in
Thy almighty embrace. I am a little child in Thy hands. I
trust implicitly in Thy All-Wise Presence. Fill me with Thy
Spirit of Truth, that I may thoroughly know and feel that
All is Good; that all fear and care may depart from my
mind. I will learn of Thee, that I may find Thy peace. I
know that as the Spirit of Thy Truth grows strong in my
mind, all mortal errors and fears will vanish, as the mists
dissolve and disappear before the morning sun. Thou art
the sun of my soul, and in the brightness of Thy
Omnipresent Glory my soul now awakens and is filled
with the joy of immortal life.
I praise Thy Intelligence, which I see manifesting
everywhere. I praise Thy Love, which is present within each
soul. I praise Thy Life, which is the omnipotent sustainer
of all creatures.

66
 TRUST IN THE CREATOR

With the proper understanding of the truth of the

mighty power of the Ever-Present within our lives, I know
you can bring yourself to so perfect a faith in that Divine
Power and Presence that you will not be moved by
anything negative that transpires around you. Until you
arrive at this stage of faith, your knowledge is a limited
source of spiritual support.
When you are disturbed by inharmonious conditions
in your own life, you allow yourself to be affected by the
troubles of other people. This is due to your great sympathy.
But if you are firmly poised in the truth of the Ever-Present's
goodness, and you make that fact real to your mind by
constant affirmation, you will be undisturbed by the
appearances of negativity. If you are poised in the truth that
you are an expression of the Omnipotent One, you will do all
that is possible to alleviate the conditions, because you will be
firmly grounded in the faith that the Almighty cannot be
thwarted, and all must from omnipotent necessity work for
good.
When we are so strong in this faith, the true faith that
unites us with the power of the Infinite, we then nurture
the perfect mental conditions whereby only good can
operate in and around us; whereas, if we are unsettled in
mind and do not furnish a still, positive point for the
radiation of the Power that makes for good, all things
seem to work to create more disturbance.
While working for all good results, we must leave each
and every soul free to be moved by the Infinite Will in their
own way, and not take the responsibility of forcing anything
to come in the life of another just because we think
it should, for then we may hinder the very thing which the
All-Wise Spirit would accomplish.
The more we positively affirm what we know to be true,
the more positive and powerful our faith becomes; so it is
our method to make affirmations continually toward
building up the spiritual mind of faith. The power of the
Creator is impartial; It will do whatever our thought turns
It to accomplish. So we must speak words of truth with
confidence, knowing that they are seeds which will bring
forth a perfect fruitage in the Creator's own time.
Truth is mighty and will prevail, if we give it a mental
form through which it can act.

67
 THE WORD OF POWER

As we comprehend the symphonies of the great

musicians, we see them as wonderful creations of grace and
beauty. We understand that the discords are just as
necessary as the harmonies to make a perfect, artistic
whole. We see that discords and harmonies must be
contrasted in order to bring out the relative value of each.
And, looking at the symphony in a comprehensive way,
we say that it is all harmony. Viewed from the artistic
standpoint there are no discords; it is a perfect evolution
of musical thought. But looking at it from the standpoint
of details, analyzing chord after chord, we use relative
statements, and say that one set of notes is a discord,
while another is a harmony. So it is the time element that
makes manifest the discords and reveals the evolution of
discords into harmonies. There are long drawn-out
discords and the quick modulations and resolutions of
chords, all ending at last in the tonic or keynote, which is
the victorious climax determining all progression in the
musical composition.
The universe is the grand symphony of the Creator's
Love; our souls are divine notes evolved by the Master
Musician, and all are fulfilling a wise end and use in the
progressive harmony of life. As we contemplate the vast
designs of the orderly cosmos, we are compelled to
acknowledge an operating Wisdom beyond all mortal
comprehension. Looking at the universe from a point of
view above the petty details of mortal existence, we are
willing to acknowledge that it is the artistic production of
a Master Mind; that it is a living symphony, all grace, all
wisdom, all harmony. Coming down to the details of life in
time, where the evolution of the tones of the universal
symphony appear as discords, and, in their unrelated
groupings, as continuous sounding dissonances, we are
apt to lose sight of the majestic inarch of the Whole and its
progression in the wisdom and love of the Creator. The
Creator is the Master Musician, and that Divine Soul of
Love and Light is the keynote of existence, the Alpha and
Omega from which all the harmonies of existence proceed
and into which all are again resolved.
From the standpoint of All Wisdom there is no evil or
discord; all is good and all is harmonious to the Eternal
Mind Who rules all in endless progressions of wisdom
and love. It is only because we look at things from a

68
limited viewpoint in time, where the future resolutions
and evolutions of the discords of existence are not
apparent, that evil appears as an incomprehensible
mystery. From the view given in this analogy, we can
understand the truth that all life, intelligence, and
substance are expressions of the Creator, and therefore
good, and that what appears to be evil is but an illusion to
us because we do not comprehend the purpose of the
Creator nor the evolution of that Divine purpose in
humanity. No philosophy has ever given a satisfactory
reason for the existence of evil or evolved a theory of
beneficent Intelligence without the contradiction of
making the Creator responsible for any evil that might
enter into creation.
The concept of the universal goodness of all that is, is
the founding thought for all spiritual progression.
Spirituality consists of coming into sympathetic relationship
with the Mind of the Creator, and thinking and feeling as
that Infinite Spirit inspires. In order to accomplish this,
our minds must be lifted above the limited philosophies
which humanity has evolved, and conceive the Spirit of
the Creator in the Goodness of that eternal reality. If we
comprehend that the motive from which All Wisdom acts
is universal love, we shall desire to bring our whole
nature into accord with this supreme Tone of life, and we
shall see from this exalted standpoint that love and
good-will, not selfishness and condemnation, are the God-like
modes of expression.
The Creator's Spirit is Ever-Present in the positive
states of the Universal Mind, but until we grow to a positive
degree of faith or knowledge, our minds relate only to
the negative or material states of the Universal Mind, and
cannot feel, or respond to, the movements of the Spirit.
Like the wire in the glass bulb which becomes luminous
because of its resistance to the electric current, we are
glorified by our ability to stand positive under the vibrations of
spirit, and thus make its Light manifest. As our mental structure
becomes more and more positive with divine thoughts and
feelings, we advance from negative to more positive states of
spiritual life, until we gain a power of spiritual positiveness and
resistance that enables us to stand upright as Sons and
Daughters of the Eternal, and feel the beatings of the waves of
deific life against every particle of our spiritual nature. Verily,

69
we must be Almightily positive in love and truth if we would be
able to polarize and organize into our own beings the forces of
Omnipotence.
It is a common idea that the human form is a medium
or receptacle for the Ever-Presence, an instrument
through which the Creator can flow, as water flows
through a tube. I have watched those who have held this
idea, but have failed to see them attain to any exalted
consciousness of the Creator. It has been my experience that
the Creator seeks to glorify minds that can stand without
flinching in the white glory of the Nameless Presence, and
trace their pedigree to the Ultimate Source; minds that
can unite with the Infinite in expressing the Power that
has dominion over the negative mental states and conditions
which are not yet conscious of the Divinity that
resides within the positive center of existence. This
dominion is but the power of love that irresistibly leads
and attracts undeveloped minds, even against their
knowledge and will, into the way of progressive evolution
toward the sublime heights of Divinity.
It is the positive knowledge of our oneness with the
Creator which enables us to bear the glory of the
Ever-Present in our natures. We must cultivate a body of
thought, a character built out of positive affirmations of
true thought, until we have a pure, resistant spiritual
nature which is an organization of the mighty thought of
the Creator, a radiating Center of divine love and wisdom.
We must think the truth and speak what we see to be true
in our souls, until the aggregation of a vast number of
positive thought forces combine to form our minds into
one glorious word of power. We must strive to live
continually in the thought and faith of the Creator so that
we can become the Word and Spirit of the Almighty
incarnate.
We are just beginning to learn that our natures are
batteries for the generation of mental force. We are
continually sending out currents of thought force from
our mental batteries. It is being demonstrated that our
thoughts are alive with an energy and intelligence
capable of operating at a distance from the brain from
which they are sent. And more powerful still is our realization
that we are being influenced for good or ill by the
thoughts of others which we allow to enter our mental
sphere. So we are either positive generators of thoughts
which affect others, or we are ourselves being affected by

70
 the thoughts of others. In fact, we are always being
impressed by minds more positively potent than ours, and
in turn, we impress minds less positive. Knowing this, it
behooves us, for our own protection, to become more
positive than the minds with whom we associate. In order
to realize the greatest good for ourselves, and give the
minds who come under our influence an impulse toward
purer and higher thinking, we should cultivate an
expression of thought which will relate us to the mighty
Mind of eternal Goodness and Wisdom.
We are learning of the power of the word and its magical
influence over minds, but we are also gaining a realization that
when the power of the word is used for selfish ends it brings
more sorrow than joy; that with the operation of occult forces
there comes a responsibility which is apt to bring more
bondage than freedom. Those who try to hold others in selfish
bondage do not rise out of the sphere of selfish forces
themselves, and so with the intensification of their
selfish-mindedness, they are limited as never before. Only
those who are willing to arise and go forward in the way of
the Creator, to abide in Love and Wisdom, find the path which
leads to the demonstration, in their individual lives, of the
Word of power.
The mysterious power of the Spirit of the Creator is not
a physical vibration, nor is it a mental vibration of
thought; it is a power above and beyond human thought.
Some have thought that this Breath of the Almighty could
be indrawn by certain breathing exercises. These exercises
will refine the physical nature and make it sensitive
to certain occult vibrations, but these vibrations are of a
sphere subordinate to the Almighty Spirit. The Spirit is a
breath in a metaphoric sense only. It is inbreathed into
the understanding of the spiritual mind as air is inspired
by the lungs, but no process of physical respiration will
open the mind to the Breath of Divine Wisdom. This can
develop only by educating the mind in the knowledge of
eternal Truth. Every wise teacher has emphasized the
fact that freedom, health, and salvation are to be found in
the mighty principle called Truth.
It is the Spirit above humanity's mortal thought which
endows us with divine power. Let us take for illustration
two men of equal mental powers. Each understands how
to generate mental force from his organism. The first has
great faith in his own mental powers, and according to his
faith he generates forces from his mental battery which

71
proceed to accomplish that which he intends. The second
has faith in his own mental powers, plus an awareness of
and faith in the goodness and power of the Creator. He
generates thoughts of truth which have the power of the
first man's thoughts, energized by the greater power of
the Spirit of the Ever-Present. Thus, the man whose mind
is illuminated with the Greater Truth will have a power in
his thoughts and words which will carry a conviction of
the spirit equal to his purity, sincerity, and his realization
of Truth.
When the mind perceives the eternal verities and
enunciates them into positive thoughts, these thoughts
are alive with the Spirit that is Eternal Life itself. More
important than physical breathing exercises or mental
concentration, is the awakening of the soul to the knowledge
and love of the living Creator. The awakened soul will
inbreathe the Breath of Eternity and gain the conscious power
which will illuminate the mind and revitalize the body with a
spontaneous joy that will be irresistibly potent in transforming
the nature and subordinating all processes into harmony with
itself.
If a student sits and practices breathing exercises or
mental concentration in the ordinary negative state of
mind, thought vibrations will be indrawn from the negative
mortal sphere of the Universal Mind; but if the
student's mind is first made positive and radiant with the
Spirit of Truth by affirmations of living, eternal truth,
there will come, by the law of like attracting like, an influx
of thought which will have an uplifting and exalting
power.
To sit in a negative state of thought and passively draw
upon the invisible for occult power will make one a
medium for a quality of mental influx like that with which
that mind is in tune at the moment. Thus is mediumship
developed, and the mental doors open to just the quality
of mind which we are striving to outgrow and overcome.
So the mind must first be exalted by aspiration and
affirmation to the love and contemplation of divine
truths, and then when the whole being becomes spiritually
positive in the j oy of expressing living thoughts of wisdom, a
state of passive receptivity will follow, which will bring to the
soul the emanations of heavenly inspiration.
There is latent, now, in each individual soul a power of
divinity capable of transforming the whole body into
health and perfection. This power, which is the Spirit of

72
the Almighty, may be expressed through positive affirmations
of truth forming thoughts of recognition which embody in
mental form its divine potency. Through faith
this spirit manifests its power; and faith may be
cultivated and developed by affirmations of truth relating
to the goodness and wisdom and perfection of this Power.
We may affirm the presence of Almighty health and
strength until we feel the glowing Power infusing our
thoughts and tingling with joyous life through every cell
of the body. It is by affirmation of the truth that we build
the spiritual temple of faith through which the Creator
comes into manifest expression in our being. As we
develop this potency of the spiritual word, and tune our
natures to the keynote of the divine life of love and
service, we shall gain the consciousness of the actual
presence of the Creator, and become so alive with Infinite
grace and harmony that the All One will live in every part
of us, and we shall begin to realize in some degree the
miraculous power of that All Presence within.

73
 MY SOUL IS ALIVE WITH THE HEALING POWER
OF THE CREATOR

Assume a restful attitude and let the above thought

occupy your mind. Picture in your imagination the reality
of the living, healing Presence of your Creator. As you
hold this thought in mind, know that your soul and body
are being illuminated, spiritualized and harmonized by
the living power of the Ever-Present. Cultivate by love and
devotion this heavenly Presence. Your soul will awaken
under the influx of that divine pervasive Presence, and
new and holy aspirations will be born. You will feel your
soul and mind and body being transformed into the harmony
and perfection that are your real, eternal character.
After you have continued this practice for a time you
will begin to realize as never before that your soul is an
actual, intelligent power, superior to your conscious
mind, created in the image and character of the Creator.
Your divine nature will grow in strength and power daily,
and you will praise and glorify the Creator as the regenerator
and energizer of your soul. Then you will love to give time to
silence and meditation, so your soul may be
fed by the influx of Divine inspiration.
From this awakening of the soul, there will come to you
a new and more potent vitality that will heal and harmonize all
your nature. Your soul will begin to realize its god-like
dominion over negativity, sickness and death. It will
become a potent magnet of love to draw to itself all that is
required of wisdom and wealth to promote its spiritual
welfare.

74
 AFFIRM ABUNDANT HEALTH

There is no cause for infirmity in your soul nature,

which is your true nature. While thinking how the truth
of the soul can overcome erroneous thoughts of the mind,
never give power to any cause that is not real in your soul
nature. Your soul is Truth. The life and perfection of the
soul is positive Power. Think the truth of your soul, speak
the truth of your soul, and trust it to overcome all negative
appearances in the body. While pain and disease may
appear very real to the senses, they are not real conditions to
the soul nature. What the soul knows and feels as true is the
real standard of eternal Truth. The soul recognizes unlimited
life and perfection as the only permanent truth, no matter what
may appear real in the body. And if the conscious mind will
agree with the soul and deny all causes of sickness and pain
as unreal, the soul's power and perfection will become
manifest. As:

There is no cause in my soul for pain.

There cannot be any cause for pain in this temple of
truth.
My soul is the life and peace of my body.
Affirm the Perfect.
The human battery of mental energy may generate
thought which is constructive or destructive. As the electric
spark is discharged from the electric apparatus, so,
in like manner, sparks of thought are discharged from
the mental apparatus. Although the charges of mental
force are invisible to mortal sight, they are, nevertheless,
much more potent in many ways than the crude spark of
electric energy. Sparks of thought force are superior to
electric sparks because they are intelligent; and the
power in each spark will work intelligently to accomplish
whatever it is directed to do. Instead of becoming
exhausted it becomes stronger by drawing like mental
elements to itself. We have a very faint realization as yet of
the power of thought. When the world wakes up to the
spiritual value of thought, to the creative value of
thought, the members of the human family will become
more god-like in their dominion over their corporeality
and over all negative environments.
By affirmation of truth, thoughts of constructive power
are generated. By denial of the beliefs of the past which
we see to be false, we generate a cleansing force which

75
dissolves from the subconscious and conscious degrees
of mind all dark and limiting thought forces that tend
toward disease and discord in the human economy.
The subconscious mind is the storehouse of all the
thoughts and feelings of our personal life, running back
to the thoughts and feelings of the parents who formed
the basis of the subconscious mind, both before and
during gestation.
The subconscious mind of each personality, then, is a
mental garden, in which is planted all the false and
undeveloped thoughts of the whole race, or at least of that
part of the race from which the personality descended most
directly. As the subconscious mind is the spiritual form
or matrix which molds its physical counterpart, forming
and operating every organ in the body, and directing the
new food elements that are partaken of daily to their
proper places in the formation of the body, it may be
necessary to go back into this subconscious character form
to find the potent cause for the discord and in harmony in
the physical body. If the seeds of lust, limitation, fear,
ignorance, revenge, cruelty, disease, or death have been
sown by ancestors, or by conscious thought, in the garden of
the subconscious mind, then all these seeds will
have to be dissolved in order that the subconscious mind
may reflect the perfect order and harmony of the heavenly
Mind of the Creator, and make the Creator's perfect
thought manifest as a more perfect temple in the body.
Not until the subconscious mind is cleansed and purified
by the dissolving power of thought can the soul power
within, the true individual from the Creator, gain more
perfect mastery over its mortal body.
Unprogressive thoughts, like lust, anger, jealousy, etc.,
have a creative force. They transform the body's energy
into poisonous compounds. This is now demonstrated
conclusively by scientific experiment. But, thanks to the
knowledge of the action of the mind, we know that we no
longer need to suffer from any negative preprogramming
by our ancestors, nor do we need to suffer for our own
errors of the past. We can use the process of mental
denial to dissolve all the negative seeds of past thoughts
from the conscious and subconscious degrees of the
mind. A spark of electric energy may be sent through the
depilatory needle to the root of a hair to destroy the root;
so by denial may sparks of thought be sent into the

76
mysterious recesses of the subconscious mind to destroy
all false beliefs of the past.
In every instance in which there has been loss of health
there will be found a mental counterpart, and unless the
mental growth is dissolved first, the material means used
to dissolve the physical growth will not always be
successful, because, given the proper conditions, the
mental form will again reproduce itself in the body.
The best results are attained by the use of denial of the
negative, followed by positive affirmation. It will be found
that the process of denial tends to disturb both the
mental and physical forces of the body. Denial of the hold
of diseased conditions will disturb the reign of those
conditions, and denial of old mental beliefs will unsettle
the mind for a time, causing the darkness of past
thoughts to rise up and fall under the dominion of our
conscious will. But there is no real reason for fear, if we do
not persist in using denials. Strong denials should be followed
by peaceful, harmonizing affirmations, in order to allay any
mental or physical disturbance caused thereby.
The following examples of the application of mental denial
make the process clear. The student can see from these
examples how to exercise the mind to deny all conditions of
mind and body which do not represent the ideal.

77
 Denial of Fear
I take my stand on my eternal soul, and by the cleansing
power of my mind I dissolve away all the limiting thoughts of
the past.
I am a soul in unity with the omniscient Spirit of the
Creator. I dissolve all thoughts of ignorance from my
mental atmosphere. I am wise with the Wisdom of my
soul. I am the Light that clears away all the clouds of
mortal ignorance. I am the Light of the Eternal!
All fearful memories of the past are dissolved. I will
persist in casting out all fearful thoughts from my mind
until only the Light of divine Love remains.
My soul is in union with the perfect Love of the Creator.
I am the perfect Love, the Ever-Present in expression.
There is absolutely nothing to fear. All ancestral
thoughts of fear are dissolved from my mind. All hereditary
thoughts of fear are dissolved from my subconscious
mind. I will no longer be bound by haunting thoughts of
fear. I command my subconscious mind to cast out all
haunting thoughts of fear.
My soul stands in the joyful light of Love and cannot
feel fear in any form. My soul is clad in a mantle of Light
and cannot be troubled by memories of the past. I am the
fearless Child of Omnipotence.
I know the truth that All is Good. I know I cannot lose
anything. I know that no force in heaven or on earth can
take my conscious individuality from me. I cannot be
robbed of any good thing. So I have nothing to fear. The
fearless Spirit of the Creator is radiating from within my
soul. Praise Thee, Ever-Present Great Spirit.

Deny Mortal Heredity

As a soul born in the image and likeness of the

Father-Mother Creator, I deny the power and influence of
mortal heredity. I deny all limitations of a mortal heritage. I
deny the negative truth of my mortal heredity in favor of the
positive truth of my immortal heritage as a soul of the
Creator. I will recognize the power of life, health and perfection
within my soul, and by my recognition of my soul
power, I will overcome all negative concepts of mortal
belief.
I cannot be affected by unhealthy conditions and the
predispositions of my mortal parents. I refuse to allow

78
any imperfect conditions to take root in my nature. By the
power of my divine soul I dissolve from my nature all
tendency toward imperfect conditions.
I will no longer look back to mortal parents as my
ancestors. I will trace my birth directly to the all-Perfect
Creator, who is the real parent of my real being. I will not
reproduce any of the self-limiting mental or physical
attributes of my mortal parents. I draw all my life, all my
thought, and all my power to express life and health
directly from the Creator. I deny from my mind any belief
that I can be subject to the shortcomings of my ancestors.
By the power of my will I dissolve all possibility of
disease from my organism. By the intensity of my thought
I dissolve every morbid condition from my flesh. By the
power of the Healing Fire within my soul I cleanse and
purify my mind and body of all poisonous elements.
I will keep my mind and body so pure and my thought
so true to the power of the Divine, that only perfect life
and health can manifest through me. I am an endless
stream of life direct from the Creator and, by recognition
of my life in the Creator, I will keep the stream of my life
pure and perfect forever.

Deny Mental Weakness

The All One is my life. The All One is my strength. The

All One is my mental power. I cannot lose my mind. I
cannot become weak in mental power. The Ever-Present's
Mind is all about me, and from the All Perfect Mind I now
draw my mental energy and strength. I am surrounded by
Infinite Peace and Harmony.
I will not be troubled about material affairs or about
anything ofa mundane nature. I will entrust all my affairs
to the Creator. I will have faith that all things will work out
for the good of all. I trust the Love and Wisdom of the
Creator to bring all good to pass.
I will sleep in the peace of the Creator every night. I will
build up my mental strength every night. I will develop my
will and my mental power by continual use. I will exercise
my will to overcome any difficulties. I am greater than all
negative conditions that have held me down, and I now
exercise my will to conquer all for the glory of the Creator.

79
 INSOMNIA

Retiring at irregular hours often induces insomnia

because sleep is a habit. The habit of sleep can be cultivated
because the act of lying down in darkness and quiet
is associated in the subconscious mind with the state of
sleep. Since thought and feeling retire into the subconscious
state during sleep, the subconscious is that part of
the mind which functions during sleep, and it possesses
the power to draw thought and feeling back into its
depths and thus induce sleep. The subconscious mind
may be led to produce the state of restful sleep by mental
suggestions, and it will seek to carry out the most dominant
suggestion it has received.
When wakefulness has become a habit of mind, much
patient effort may be required in some cases to entirely
overcome it; but rest assured, if the causes of nervous
irritability are removed and the proper suggestions are
given to the subconscious mind, refreshing sleep will
become a permanent habit.
One should form the habit of casting aside all worries
and cares, and even the thoughts of daily affairs, before
getting into bed. The reclining position should be associated
with the idea of sleep and rest of mind and body.
Under no circumstances should the mind be allowed to
go back over the affairs of the day after going to bed,
because mind activity thus induced will settle into the
subconscious state and a tiresome dream activity will
continue after the conscious mind has become heavy
with slumber. Thus, insomnia may be developed.
Many have found devotional study a potent means of
turning one's thoughts away from the vexations and
cares of the day. By study of exalted thoughts a more
spiritual side of the mind becomes active, the mind
energy retires from those parts of the brain that have
been active all day, and afterwards, with the reclining
position, conies restful slumber.
If, after lying down, the mind reverts to the thoughts of
the day, resist them and then let the mind drift passively
in the current of thought set flowing by your spiritual
studies.
After lying down, do not make any positive effort, such
as holding affirmations that would tend to keep the mind
alert and active, but simply let your thoughts and feelings
drift away from material life and affairs toward the state
of immortal existence where the Ever-Present is the Divine

80
Magnet Who attracts your soul towards the deeps of
Bliss.
When wakefulness has become such a habit that one
expects nothing else, it is well to read and repeat the
following thoughts persistently before retiring in order to
eradicate the idea of wakefulness from the mind:
When I retire, I shall go to sleep immediately, and no
habit of wakefulness shall keep me from sleeping.
When I lie down, the mind energy shall flow away from
my brain to the extremities of the body, and my brain
shall rest.
Sweet sleep shall steal over my senses, bringing peace
and rest to body and brain.
Wakefulness is not a normal condition at night. I can
overcome it, because all the needs of my nature tend
toward inaction after action, to sleep after wakefulness.
I will not become discouraged even after apparent
failures, because I know that all my nature is cooperating
with my efforts.
My mind will sooner or later adjust itself to fulfill my
desire and need for sleep, because it is obedient to my will
and desire.
If I wake during the night, I shall expect to go to sleep
again immediately.

81
 EXERCISE YOUR IMAGINATION

The audible suggestions of psychologists have broken

the nervous habit of wakefulness and proved a boon to
thousands troubled with insomnia. Many have practiced
autosuggestion with the same good results. That is, after
lying down they have held in their minds thoughts like
the following:
My body is now entirely relaxed and I am going to sleep.
I am quiet. My mind is passive and drowsy. I will soon be
fast asleep and I will sleep restfully until morning.
But, occasionally, the very effort to hold such thoughts
defeats the purpose and keeps one awake. One woman
tried to "auto-suggest" herself asleep. She relaxed hopefully,
and repeated her formula over and over, but it
didn't work. She tried it for several nights, growing more
restless and impatient, and more skeptical of her own
powers, each night.
It seemed to her that she was two persons, one lying
sensibly in bed, trying to realize that she could and would
sleep, and one perched on the foot-board looking on and
sneeringly repeatedly, "You can't do it, you can't do it."
One day she saw in a magazine a picture of a patient
being treated. An elderly man was sitting back most restfully in
a chair, and behind the chair, bending slightly over the patient
in an attitude suggesting power, assurance, and authority,
stood the therapist who was treating him.
When she thought of the picture after retiring, she felt
very sure that if she were in that study and if that therapist
were bending over her with the same attitude of calm
assurance and strength, and were telling her to go to
sleep, she would obey. Then she decided to "play" that
she was being treated. She imagined herself in that
pictured room, relaxing in that comfortable chair. She
imagined further that a quiet voice, with great reserve
and power, was saying words similar to these which follow,
and in ten minutes she was sound asleep and slept
all night.
"There is no reason why you should not go to sleep. You
can sleep as well as anybody else. You are growing very
quiet already. You are growing sleepy. You are going fast
asleep. You are sleeping, sleeping. Sleep!"
She reasoned then, that if she had actually put herself
to sleep through imagining such a scene, she had the

82
power to do it without such imagining. She tried it and
failed. She needed some such aid as her imaginary guide
afforded her, to enable her to let go of her self-consciousness.
At first when she tried to put herself to sleep by direct
suggestions, she doubted her words and failed, but she had
faith in her imaginary guide. The activity of the imagination
occupied her mind in the creative work of forming the guide,
the place, and the state of relaxation, drew the consciousness
into a subconscious state, and allowed the much-used outer
mind to subside. After a while, however, she gained the ability
to put herself to sleep without this aid.
There are various ways that this same result may be
accomplished by use of the imagination. Another method
is to imagine oneself back in the pleasant scenes of childhood.
With a little practice, the pictures hidden in memory
can be entered into and will become so absorbing that
present things will be forgotten; one will wander through
bright childhood scenes all through the night, and wake
refreshed from partaking of the joy of happy recollections.

83
 NERVOUS DEBILITY

Nervous debility is often caused by accumulations of

dark mental forces in the aura or mental atmosphere of
the person. They produce a despondent feeling and also
weaken the nervous system, because they drain the vital
essence. They must be dissolved by persistent use of
thoughts like the following:
Omnipotence is dissolving all false mental forces from
my presence.
All disturbing memories are dissolved. All disturbing
connections with mortal personalities are dissolved. The
Creator is dissolving all detracting thoughts from my
mental atmosphere. All accumulations of dark and depressing
thoughts are dissipated. All self-limiting mortal thoughts are
washed away.
My home and my temple are now purified by the white
light of the Divine Presence. I will not have my home as an
abiding-place for fear or darkness of any kind.
Infinite peace and power are now working to make all
conditions conducive to my perfect healing. The mighty
Angels of the Infinite are my protection, and under the
shadow of their divine wings I abide.

84
 TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION

By the power of my affirmative thoughts I dissolve all

disturbing elements from my mental atmosphere.
All the mortal thoughts of the day are dissolved. All the
mental discords of the day are dissolved. My aura is
cleansed of all dark and limiting thoughts. All thoughts
and memories of the day's affairs are dissolved from my
mind. The weight of mortal responsibility is thrown off my
mind. My mind is freed from all dark and depressing
elements of thought.
My mind rises into the positive state of joyous freedom
and brightness. My mind is filled with the peace and
harmony of the Eternal Mind. My mind rises above the
negative thought currents into the peaceful glory of the
All Mind which is always harmonious.
Above the discordant vibrations of the mind of the
world there is the Mind of the Creator, radiant with the
joy-giving effulgence of the Infinite Spirit. My mind and
soul are lifted up to the contemplation of the realms on
high where the angels of Jehovih dwell in the serene
enjoyment of the grace and glory of the Living Presence.
I praise Thee, O Jehovih, for the spiritual grace and
strength that now enliven and renew my soul.
Let your imagination contemplate this glorified soul
presence; your mind will be lifted above all mortal cares
and worries, and the Ever-Present will give you divine
peace and power. Your soul will partake of the joyous life
and strength of the Creator, and rise into the realization
of its inmost power as an image of Divinity.

85
 DIGESTIVE DISTURBANCES
Place both hands on the abdomen so as to increase the
magnetic force in the abdomen while using these affirmations.
This treatment should be used three times a day, if
possible.
I will that the intelligent force in each one of these
organs shall be active in keeping my internal processes
open and free from any torpid and diseased condition.
My stomach is peaceful digestive power.
My liver is active intelligence.
My spleen is spiritual life.
My kidneys are purifying power.
My generative organs are creative vitality.
My bowels are energized mind.
All these organs work together to produce health and
harmony in my body.

I AM SPIRIT IN ACTION.

All the destructive states of mind which go

hand-in-hand with care and worry tense the nerves and
increase the tendency to have digestive disturbances. A
happy, carefree state of mind, which places all trust in
the Wisdom of the Creator, relaxes the mind and nerves,
and removes one great cause for digestive distress.
When one feels the first symptoms of a serious illness,
one may be overcome by a wave of terrible fear, but one
must realize that thoughts of fear alone are capable of
paralyzing all the healing activity of the body.
You must concentrate on helping your body to heal
itself with any means knowledge has placed at your
disposal. Do not let fear enter your mind.
Have faith in the healing power of your own life, and
know that your positive faith is intensifying the healing
intelligence in your body and making you a magnet for all
the healing life pervading the Universal Mind. Know that
the Spirit of the Almighty Mind is flowing into your positive
thoughts of faith and making them alive with healing
energy. Affirm over and over again for your body, "You are
the Spirit of Eternal Life in action. You are active, active
life. The Mind of the Creator is powerful to restore
harmony to all parts."

86
 Within your nature slumbers a soul power from the
Ever-Present, capable, when awakened and expressed
through thought, of recreating and restoring perfect
action in every part of the body and mind.
Living Creator:
My soul draws upon Thee for love. Let me feel so much
of Thy Spirit of Love that all unlovely feelings will be dissolved
from my nature. Cleanse me of all feelings of ill-will, from all
condemnation, from all resentment, and from all thoughts and
feelings which would interfere with the free operation of Thy life
within my nature. As I forgive and bless all who have hurt or
mistreated me, Thy Spirit forgives and blesses me, and as I
express Thy Spirit of love, the power of Thy Spirit gains full
control of my body and operates freely in every part, bringing
every organ into harmony and health. I am not withholding love
from any creature. My mind is filled with Thy free, generous
Spirit and this Spirit is reflected in the free action of all
body functions.

87
 HEALING TREATMENT FOR THE EYES

I know the seeing power resident within my eyes can

overcome every limitation of my flesh.
I have faith in the Perfect Intelligence which sees
through my eyes. My vision is corrected by the living
presence of the Creator.
The Ever-Present within my soul is my purity and
perfection. My vision is not limited by any detrimental
thoughts and feelings. I am cleansed and purified
of all hereditary limitations by the Infinite Intelligence within.
Every atom of my eyes and optic nerves is intelligent
and obedient to the law of perfect formation, manifesting
the beauty and grace of divine perfection.
I will that my eyes manifest the perfect seeing power of
the spirit.
I am the clear, unlimited sight of the Creator. I will
manifest my perfect sight.
I know that the Almighty Power of Perfection is present
within my soul, and my soul infuses every atom of my
body. I will make every atom so positive with my words of
faith that only perfection can come into expression.
I, as a soul of the Creator, have unlimited seeing ability.
I have faith that my awakening soul will reorganize the
structure of my eyes. My soul has intelligent ability which
enables it to refocus the lenses in my eyes so that I see all
objects distinctly and clearly. My soul is now readjusting
the focus of my eyes.
I patiently and trustingly wait upon the Spirit within
my soul, and give it the strength of my faith while it is
readjusting the lenses and creating perfect vision.
O Creator! I thank Thee that my prayer of faith is being
heard, that my thoughts of perfect faith are sown in the
substance of my eyes, and shall bear fruit in perfect sight,
to the glory of Thy indwelling Spirit.

88
 HEALING PEACE

This treatment will place you in touch with the healing

streams which flow from the Celestial Presence of the
Creator.
Sacred names each have a spiritual quality and a
relationship with a center of consciousness, and the name
Jehovih, which means the Ever-Present Great Spirit,
relates the mind to the holiest state of the Divine Mind.
The mind becomes united through this name with the
state of infinite peace wherein abide the holiest and
wisest angels of the Ever-Present, and through this telepathic
sympathy, receptive minds receive vibrations of
holy, peaceful, healing emanations, which harmonize all
mental disturbances and bring the peace that passeth
mortal understanding. This name may be used effectively
whenever and wherever peace is desired, for self or for
others.
Retire from the world when you can, and contemplate
the healing power represented by the Creator's potent
Presence. When you desire to inbreathe the emanations
which come from the use of this celestial name, put all
mortal thought aside, and in the utmost meekness and
humility of mind, bow down before the Majesty of that
Mysterious Power which resides within all the angelic
spheres and also within the inmost recesses of your soul,
and your spiritual poverty will be supplanted by the
unlimited fullness and boundless love of the Creator.
Praise be to Thee, Jehovih!
From the meek and subtle chamber of your soul there
bubbles forth the ethereal waters of peace. There is a
region within you akin to that essential realm of Jehovih,
where the crystal Sea of Truth is stirred by the vital
breath of the Infinite One, and the murmuring waves
whisper words of peace and everlasting serenity.
Your soul now listens to the voice of omnipotent Peace,
and the ethereal peace of the Spirit infuses your whole
nature with the harmony of heaven.
The crystal Sea at the root of your soul finds your mind
meek, responsive, and receptive to its waters of peace
which gently flow into your mind and harmonize your
thoughts with heavenly rest.
The ethereal potency of the peaceful Ever-Presence is
now permeating your whole being, and all the atoms of
your body obey this law of peace and harmony.
Healing, soothing peace is the only Presence and the

89
only Power. You are saturated with the healing glory of
Jehovih, and there is no cause for mental or physical
friction in the midst of that Presence.
You are now in the peaceful glory of this Infinite
Presence, and there cannot be anything in you or around
you but boundless peace and love and harmony.
In this Presence: There are no mortal minds at war. All
is infinite Peace.
There is no bondage to lust or love. All is eternal
Harmony.
There is no vanity or pride, for the essential Meekness
reigns supreme in all.
All the cells of your nature rejoice in the free light of
boundless Peace, and inbreathe the peaceful vitality of
Eternity.
Glory to Jehovih for the healing Peace from the exalted
spheres of heavenly, harmonious Love.
ALL IS PEACE!

90
 MIND MASTERS MATTER
The laws of matter are responsive to the superior laws
of mind, and "miracles", so-called, do not set aside natural
laws but merely show that natural laws are subservient to the
superior forces of the Universal Mind.
There are no miracles in the sense of the violation of
natural laws. "All things are possible" to the human mind
when it learns to exercise and direct the powers of the
soul as did the prophets and the mystics of the ages. Then
natural laws prove obedient to the superior law, of which
they are but effects.
We can overcome many of the limitations of the
material body by developing in our flesh a more positive
degree of vitality. Affirm again and again: I AM VITALITY.
Think vitality, breathe vitality, eat vitality, and know that
you are the unlimited vitality of the Creator: thus, you will
become a magnet for Almighty Vitality. Think toward
each organ of your body: YOU ARE VITALITY. You are so
filled and thrilled with vitality that there is no place for
disease or decay in you. ALL IS VITALITY.
Keep this up unceasingly and it will make you so
positively vital that health and happiness will reign
throughout your whole being.

91
 THE GREAT SYMPATHETIC

Pathologists tell us that many diseases can start in

blood-stasis or stagnation. Health can exist only where
there is positive activity or circulation in every part of the
physical body. Life is synonymous with activity, and stagnation
with death. There is but one agent in the building and
repairing of the body, and that is the circulation of the blood.
It brings sustenance to every cell in the body and carries
away waste matter. The bloodstream is responsible for all
bodily building and cleansing, for diseased or healthy tissue. If
this is true, then any means, whether mental or physical, that
will flush capillaries and quicken the circulation should be
considered a great means of cure.
All the circulating fluids in the body are subject to the
sympathetic nervous system in this way. All the activities
of the body except those of a chemical nature are tubular.
Through tubes we breathe, circulate, and eliminate. Bile,
blood, air, food, sweat, pancreatic juice, lymph, and
saliva all flow through tubes, and the flow is controlled by
the involuntary muscles which constitute one of the
coats of all the tubes in the body.
By the action of these involuntary muscles we perspire,
we breathe, our hearts beat, and our food is carried
through the stomach and intestines. And what makes
muscles move? Nerve stimulus, nothing else. Any muscle
is at rest until it is compelled to respond by the action of
nerve force. The cerebrospinal nerves influence the
voluntary muscles, but the involuntary muscles are
controlled by the great sympathetic nerves. The
sympathetic nerves, then, are the agents of the brain which
control circulation, perspiration, digestion, elimination,
and all functioning of physical organs.
The spirit of human beings, which is often called the
subconscious mind, acts through this great nervous
system and all its ramifications to influence vital action.
The states of the spirit or subconscious mind are all reflected
in physical functions through this nerve pathway.
According to the quality of the emotions that the spirit
sends through this nerve complex will be the state of vital
action. The chemical quality of saliva, bile, and all digestive
juices is determined by the quality of the spirit. But
here is a very important fact that is often overlooked by
those who are trying to be consistent with the above point
of view. Anything that weakens the nerve force, such as

92
overindulgence in sense gratifications, or anything that
poisons the system (coffee, tobacco, alcohol, poisonous
drugs, serums, inoculations, or fermenting foods) is
bound to limit and depress the spirit in its physical
expression.
The living, intelligent spirit acting through the sympathetic
nerves upon the vascular or tubular system, tries to throw off
the accumulating poisons, and in doing so, produces an acute
disease called by German Nature Curists a "healing crisis".
These healing efforts are great blessings in disguise, whether
they throw off poisons through the effect called a cold,
pneumonia, or smallpox. The German Naturopaths prove in
their practice that any of these acute healing crises are not
harmful and leave no bad effects when nature is intelligently
cooperated with and allowed to free the body of limiting matter.
In fact their value is proved, as they leave the body healthier.
But modern physicians and even mental healers do not
recognize the great value of this process of elimination, and
they try to suppress this healing activity by thought or by the
use of toxic serums or poisonous drugs, with the result that the
poisons accumulate and bring on a more severe crisis such as
cancer, tumors, rheumatism, or other chronic troubles.
The spirit can be aroused to positive activity in eliminating
poisons by mental and spiritual means. Since false habits of
living, heredity, and other factors have stored cells with useless
substances, and since few give the time to attaining that
spiritual mastery whereby the flesh is kept subservient to the
spirit, it is wise to combine mental and physical means of
healing, as long as these means recognize and cooperate with
the individual spirit of life as the great and mighty cause of
cure.
Once the body has become purified, and all morbid
states of mind are corrected by the knowledge of spiritual
truth, the sympathetic nerves become the open doorway
to the subconscious activities of the spirit. Then the life
absorbed from the Universal Mind by the individual spirit
can pour through the Sympathetic, and the body can
become a dynamo of energy and power. The pure
instincts or feelings of nature will guide one in the
knowledge of the quality and amount of food to be eaten,
and appetite will be obeyed because it will lead aright.
When the temple is purified and the soul is resurrected to
know the Source of Power, the white Light of Divinity will
shine through all states of nature and reveal the beauty
and perfection of the Divine Image in terms of physical
flesh.

93
 Self-Treatment

I feel I am a spirit of life vitalizing the sympathetic

nervous system.
I concentrate my attention on the life that is now
flowing through the entire nervous system.
I feel life stirring all sluggish currents to positive
activity.
I concentrate on this inflowing life force until I feel that
every cell in my body is charged with its vitalizing energy.
I am Life, dissolving away all accumulated poisons and
morbid matter.
I am radiating life to dissolve false growths and eliminate all
poisons from my nature.
I am consciously drawing life from the Infinite Spirit,
and filling this, my temple, with Its healing energy.
I dissolve from my mind and nervous system all
depressing and passionate feelings, that Life, all glorious
Life, may fill my flesh with strength and power.

94
 LET YOUR SOUL EXPRESS

Pain and disease in the body are often a crying out from
its parts to the soul for more life. The soul is the mighty
magnet that can hold the cells and organs of the nature in
perfect harmony and peace. But when the mighty polarizing
power of the soul is dormant and covered up by
material-mindedness, the physical organization is not
fed by the spontaneous life of the soul, and consequently
cannot carry on its work with the intelligence and skill
necessary for the perfect operation of all parts in unity.
Where there is this lack of vitality from the soul, discord
and inharmony become manifest in the physical economy.
The nerves cry out to the soul, "O give us food, that
we may carry on our active life;" the cells call for vitality
that they may repair the wasting tissue, and the joints try
hard to make the soul understand that they are in need of
lubricating fluid.
The soul is a power greater and more intelligent than
the whole physical nature; it is life; it is creative energy; it
is the true physician to the body; it is the Organizer that
can bring all things into harmony with its divine pattern.
Under proper conditions the soul can generate from its
physical nature any known force that exists in external
nature, for the human form is an epitome of the Creator
and Infinite Nature. Does electricity heal? Well, the body
is a chemical laboratory, and the action of the chemicals
in the physical battery is constantly producing currents
that are finer and more potent than the crude product
evolved from external nature. Is human magnetism valuable
for the cure of diseased conditions? It most certainly
is, for the physical organism cannot exist without a plentiful
supply of vital magnetic force. The physical atoms
but float in these currents, and are carried hither and
thither as subjects of their attractive power. They group
themselves to form the various organs of the body, as the
iron filings group themselves in circles in the magnetic
field of a horseshoe magnet.
Let the soul awaken and express through the whole
body. The body exists for the use of the soul and should
not be allowed to live a separate existence of its own,
apart from the soul. Let the soul have its body as its own;
then, as the soul finds free, joyous expression through its
human organization, it will gather the necessary
elements from the food, earth, and air for the healing and

95
reconstruction of every part. It will fill its body with the
vitality of the Creator, for the soul is a native of eternal
Life, and is on familiar terms with the Great Physician.
The soul will generate a brain full of faith in its own
unlimited power, and a body full of thought force that will
sway every energy and organ and atom to the expression
of its intelligent will.
The soul must be resurrected, else there is no hope of
permanent health or attainment of perfection.
The diseased part may be rubbed and pinched and
magnetized and electrified and exercised if it will help to
bring back the circulation of life, but, above all, it must be
blessed and talked to and infused with soul force before
the healing and saving power will manifest perfectly. It
matters not how badly paralyzed a limb may be; if you can
call the soul to live in the weakened parts, there will be a
return of health and satisfying vitality, for lo! the soul is
the resurrection and the life everlasting.

 THE TRUE WAY

There is but one manner of life on this plane that will

bring satisfaction to the soul and enable it to express its
powers in an ever-ascending degree through its physical
temple, and that is the devotional life. The life that is
entirely consecrated and devoted to the Creator's service
in love and truth keeps the door open for the entrance of
that inspiring Presence. Such a life fulfills all the divine
laws, and the soul attains, while incarnate, a greater
growth and expression of its Powers, and gains from its
earthly experience a power and wisdom that make it a
God-like being in the realms of eternal life and bliss.
There is true healing in the life devoted to service to others
rather than preoccupied with service to self.
You need to keep your mind open toward the Heavenly
Creator by speaking with intensity and devotion the word
of exalted truth to all parts of your being. It is the intense
devotion and love of the whole nature turned in one direction
that polarize the Presence and Power of Eternal Truth. Rouse
up your spiritual powers by using statements such as these
daily:
My soul is awakened and illuminated by the presence
and power of the Creator. My soul is glorified by Infinite
light and glory.
My soul is radiant with the everlasting power of the
Ever-Present, and I am satisfied to express this power
from day to day.
My soul is regenerating harmoniously, peacefully and
satisfactorily. The Creator's mighty Glory folds round me
and holds me in eternal peace.
The Eternal Power is with me. The Eternal Presence is
guiding me on the path of wisdom and peace.
The illuminating Power of the Ever-Present is born
within my soul, and all my nature rejoices with glad
praise and thanksgiving that the Power of heaven and
earth has taken up Its abode within this holy temple.
In stillness I sense the Creator's Silent Power within me
and It fills my soul with peace.

98
 YE ARE SLUMBERING GODS!

The essential attributes of the Great Spirit are organized in

your individual soul. The Creator has organized omniscient
love into a glowing sun of light and power, and this divine ego
is your soul, your true self, the Power of your mind and body.
The living Pearl of Divinity is the Presence of Jehovih
within your nature. You can well afford to sell all your
accumulations of earthly thought, even though it seems a
great sacrifice, in order to attain conscious possession of
this Pearl of great price.
This divine individual essence of Jehovih is slumbering
in the spiritual depths of your being, awaiting the quickening
word to arouse Its mighty consciousness into spiritual activity
and power.
Spiritualize your mind and body, or your positive and
negative mind, with the radiance of the Creator's presence
through prayerful devotion, for thus you will polarize to yourself
the spiritual emanations of the Ever-Present, which will
surround and infuse your soul with heavenly life and strength,
and awaken it again to a realization of its mighty possibilities
as a living son or daughter of the Creator.
In fervent devotion of spirit, pour out your prayers and
praises to the Great Glory Who is the sum of Almightiness
within and above your soul being, and thereby you will
generate the quickening flame that will set your soul on
fire with conscious, blissful power.
Only in the zeal and purity of a devotional life, of a mind
and body purified of earthly thoughts and desires and
living to fulfill the purpose of the soul, which is the will of
the Creator, can the soul develop, expand its immortal
potentialities, and make the Ever-Present's power manifest in
your being.
Unless you are living for your soul, you have not
learned to live; the great meaning and purpose of life are
to you as a book that has not been opened. You are
conscious in only the lowest and dreariest zone of your
consciousness. All the blissful pleasures of the higher
states of thought and feeling in your being, the joyous
mingling of the positive and negative attributes of your
spiritual nature, are hidden from you. The doors of
heaven, through which streams the light of eternal
consciousness, seem closed, and you seek for pleasure
and peace where none are to be found.
Turn to the Light that never fails, to the Love that is

99
longing to enfold you in conscious bliss; turn from your
idols of flesh, which intoxicate the mind and destroy the
body; turn to the Creator! If you will worship the Eternal
Presence with the same untiring zeal with which you
sought transient things, you will be rewarded with the
Infinite's unchanging Love, and your soul will awaken to
immortal Life. Then, with your help, it will purify and
glorify the sacred centers in your body and teach you the
secret of spiritual alchemy, whereby the conserved forces
of your body pass through a transmutation that refines
them into a substance necessary to the soul in the
expression of the Word of Power.
This knowledge will be useless to you unless you have
proven your sincerity by overcoming the selfish and
mortal desires that hold you back, and by conquering all
attractions that would draw you from your devotion to
your divine purpose of making the Ever-Present Spirit
manifest in your life. For without absolute purity of life,
the soul, which is born from the immaculate purity of the
divine nature, cannot keep in correspondence with the
flesh, because of the partition created by unprogressive
thoughts and feelings. But when your will, coupled with
the awakened will of your soul, has gained complete
dominion over the desires of the flesh, your soul will
express through your pure, true thought, and flood the
seven sacred centers in your body with its soul
consciousness.
O, that all children of the Creator might learn of the
holy path of regeneration, the straight and narrow path
which leads to the highest mastery, and gives the greatest
joy and peace to the individual.
Once you see this path of immortality, its purity, its
grace, and its bliss, you will be filled with a divine
enthusiasm to travel it to the supreme goal, and you will see
the uselessness of all mortal aims that do not help you to
fulfill the object of your soul's existence, the manifestation
of the Creator in form and power. Once you place
your feet on this path you will go forward steadily in a
progressive way, allowing no obstacle to hinder your
determination, nor any idea of time to disturb your faith.
You will be filled with the conviction that you are on the
Path of Life, and only by systematic effort for days,
months and years can you fulfill the object of your being.
When all thoughts and desires of your nature are
polarized toward the realization of the highest ideal, even

100
the loss of the physical counterpart of the mind, the body,
will not stop your upward progression through the eons
of eternity. Your soul will continue to inhabit its pure
mind-body or spirit form, and it will continue the development
and regeneration of its mental forces. Thus, your
soul will perfect the expression of its wisdom and power
through its spiritual body in all its future progression in
the objective realms of the universal heavens.

101
 AWAKE, MY SOUL, AWAKE!

Your soul nature slumbers because of the ignorance

and materiality of the mortal mind. But you may awaken
your soul to a splendid realization of self-conscious
power and dominion.
The soul cannot be awakened fully in a day, or even in a
year. The development of the soul is a process of growth
or unfoldment that should occupy all the days and years
of your earth life; and then its more perfect flowering
should continue in the spiritual world throughout the
ages of eternity.
Were it possible for the soul suddenly to awaken to a
degree of consciousness which can come only by years of
mental and spiritual growth, the physical nature could
not respond to the more rapid, spiritual vibrations. Each
new soul realization must be followed by such soul
expression as will tune the physical brain and body to the
more intense vibrations of spiritual force.
Before the soul can express its feelings born of divine
Love and Wisdom, the erroneous beliefs and the
disturbed feelings of the mortal mind must be dissolved.
The beliefs of the mortal mind in evil, and the fears of
evils, keep the mind clouded and in a negative and powerless
condition.
By daily study of divine principles, by affirmations of
Truth and blessings of Love, the entire mind is cleansed
of dark thoughts and feelings, and a new foundation of
faith is established in the powerful presence of
Love-Intelligence.
The diseased bodies and disturbed affairs of people
reflect their lack of spiritual development.
People can begin to demonstrate the beauty and health
and the peace and prosperity of the Divine Mind, as they
develop a true faith and feeling from their own souls. True
faith is formulated by thinking in accord with the principle
of Divine Love. People can experience the power of the
Creator only as they make the Spirit of Lave and its
wisdom organic. They must organize the thought of the
Creator into every cell and fiber of their spiritual structure.
Faith so developed is a positively intelligent force
that can overcome every negative condition of mind,
body, and affairs, and reveal that it is generated from the
Mind of the Creator.

102
 Your soul is Divine Spirit individualized. It is clothed in
thought. Thought is the vehicle of Spirit. Your thoughts of
truth and love are spiritual forces which embody the
intelligence and power of your soul.
Your soul can find conscious expression only through
thoughts akin to its divine nature; therefore, such time as
is spent in the study of Truth and in the exercise of Love,
in the form of praise and blessings, is wisely spent.
Affirmations of the truth and quality of your soul develop
a mental body sufficiently positive to allow the soul
consciousness to come into expression. This spiritual
study and affirmation develop a positive pole for the soul
battery; and through this positive pole, the soul will
gradually gain control over its negative pole of mind, the
body, and bring every negative tendency of the
sense-mind into alignment with its wise dominion.
Recognize and talk to your soul in the following manner,
and its latent powers will respond to your recognition
and love. There is an exalting power in these statements
which you will feel as you repeat them over and over.
Awake, my soul, and feel the power of the Creator
slumbering in Thee.
Awake, and realize that thou art an Angel of the
Ever-Present.
Awake, and be strong with the Strength of thy eternal
nature, which shall conquer death and live forever.
You are now strong with the Strength of Omnipotence.
Awake, thou who sleepest, and arise from the darkness,
to where the Light of the Ever-Present may shine
upon Thee.

103
 SOUL DEVELOPMENT

The Creator is the Presence of Intelligence in every

degree of nature; for all nature is One Nature, and every
form is a form of One Intelligence. We have senses which
perceive this Infinite physical nature spread before us in
inconceivable magnitude and grandeur. We also have
more or less developed spiritual perceptions, which as yet
but dimly perceive this Infinite spiritual nature and its
angelic inhabitants.
All forms of this One Nature are good in the Creator's
sight, even though apparently evil in our sight, because
all are developing forms of Infinite Intelligence. Ignorance
is but a negative form of Intelligence. Ignorance begets
experience, and from experience comes Wisdom. In all
creation we see the Ever-Presence coming to consciousness,
and in the Spirit of Understanding, we see as the
Creator sees, that All is Good.
The great Consciousness of God the Good is in your
soul awaiting realization. Your Intelligence is Good. All
your good feelings are of the Great Spirit. When you
express good feelings constantly, you help those around
you feel good, and you awaken the good Intelligence in
them. Thus you arouse their Divine nature and attract
them to the Good in you.
The Creator is an inconceivable Power in you now, in
your thoughts and in your feelings; the very Power that
enables you to will and to do.
You live from the Omnipotent Power day and night, and
by the right use of your thought and will, this creative
Intelligence will come into expression through you.
Think the truth that All is Good because all is of
Jehovih's nature, and Good will vitalize your faith and
manifest in your life and affairs.
Feel Love for all and you will feel the very Life of your
Creator blessing all creation through you.
Your thoughts are living cups which, when rightly
formed, become receptacles for the Healing Spirit. When
your thoughts are so pure that they see no evil, they are
luminous with Divine Intelligence, and enable you to see
with the understanding of your Creator into the mysteries
of Divine Wisdom.
You have been told to have faith; that with faith all
things are possible. But you have not been taught how to
develop faith. You are now being shown that you can
develop new faith hourly by affirming thoughts of Truth

104
and generating feelings of Love. You are being given the
long-hidden secret of how to regenerate your entire mind
and body.
You must come to the realization that the Creator is in
you, you can know Divine Inspiration, and you can voice
Divine words of power.
When you affirm "I Am," you speak the name and power
of the Divine Being.
Your present mind, body and affairs have been generated
from limited mortal thoughts and feelings. In a sense, you have
taken the name of your Creator in vain when you have affirmed
the limited beliefs of mortal thought and feeling. You have said
"I Am" mortal, sinful, weak, poor, sick, unsuccessful. According
to this limited faith you have created limitations within yourself.
Now you can regenerate or reform your mind, body,
and affairs from the faith born of the Thought of your
Creator.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and, because
your I Am is the Image of Jehovih, you can say:

I am Love, Wisdom, and Power.

The Eternal One is my Creator. I am Immortal!
All that the Creator has is mine, and as the Creator is
infinite abundance, I am wealthy!
Omnipotence succeeds with me. I am successful.
I trace my lineage not to the mortal, but to the Divine.
I am of the nobility of the Ever-Present Creator.
I will be perfect in Love as my Creator is perfect.
Your thought is your faith. Your faith is only as
strong as your thoughts. All the possibilities of a new,
strong faith are opened to you as you regenerate your
mind by the development of positive thoughts of Truth.
Do not separate feeling from thought, for it is the life of
thought.
You can know the Creator only through your own
thought, only as you can conceive of the beauty of Divine
Ideas, and express their quality through your own
nature. You can know as much of Divine Love and
Wisdom as you can generate through your thoughts and
feelings. Your capacity will grow forever.
The possibility of God-like qualities exists within you,
and by daily study and practice you can build yourself a
spiritual temple of thought which will reveal the Health,
Beauty, and Perfection of a soul Divinity.
Soul development requires as much study and practice
as the learning of any art or science. You, as a student,

105
should consecrate part of your time daily to the cultivation
of your soul nature. You should retire into a room
alone, or into the quietness of a secluded retreat close to
nature and nature's peace. Material work and plans, and
all thought of material things, should be put aside, and
the whole mind be given to deep study; not in extended
reading, but to the application of the lessons and
thoughts that strengthen the spiritual nature and give
character and dominion.
As your mind, by the exercise of praise, prayer, affirmation
and blessings, is lifted from the negative to the
positive state, from the mortal to the immortal range of
feelings, you will become aware that you are communing
with the Angelic Beings who are the perfected Ideas
of the Divine Mind. They will touch the inner spring of
your soul life as only awakened souls can be touched.
They will hold your mind in the emanations of Divine
Thought, and quicken your soul to a new consciousness of its
power as the expressed Image of Divine Wisdom.
As you cultivate communion with the Creator's
Thoughts, and keep yourself positive with the faith and
love of your Creator, omnipresent and omnipotent Love,
you will become one with the Angelic Hosts of the
Almighty, and grow into a Power to serve all humanity.

106
 THE GLOBE OF GLORY

The Egyptians pictured the soul as a winged globe. A

luminous globe, like a sun, has always symbolized perfected
intelligence. The warmth of the sun symbolizes
Love and its light symbolizes Wisdom. When we translate
the oriental imagery of the ancient revelations into its real
spiritual meaning, we see that light means intelligence
and warmth means love. So the spiritual nature of humanity,
composed of love and intelligence, is born from
the Love and Wisdom of the Creator; and when the
children of the Creator become perfectly unfolded in
wisdom and love, they are suns of righteousness.
Imagine a living globe of glory, an organized spiritual
mind, radiant with the light and warmth of Divine Love
and Wisdom, and you have an idea of your soul in its
perfected spiritual state. Your soul is intelligent with the
Wisdom of its Creator, alive with the Love of Jehovih; an
individualized form of the Glory of Divine Intelligence.
Your soul is as a stranger to you, and you have as yet
little or no realization of its godlike powers and attributes.
When great emotions are awakened in you by beautiful
music or you are stirred by a great joy, then you sense the
emotions of your soul. One who knows and lives from the
life and intelligence of the soul is aware of one's own
immortality, and knows the Spirit of Truth. Thus, one
finds Heaven within.
It is a common idea that the brain is the mind, but the
truth is that the brain is just the center of positive,
self-conscious mental activity. The sub-brains, such as the
solar-plexus, are the negative, receptive centers through
which the subconscious and involuntary activity of the
mind is expressed. The mind is superior to its positive
and negative brain centers. It is a body of spiritual force,
just as the physical organism is a body of physical force.
The mind-body is the residence of all life, sensation, and
memory. It is the immortal spirit of our being, and the intelligent
builder of the physical form.
At the dissolution of the body, the spiritual or mind
body which has held the flesh in form, floats free from the
physical body. As this mind-body is the sum of all the
knowledge, memory, and volition of the personality, it
can readily be seen that one feels, sees and acts just the
same in the spiritual body as one did in the physical, with

107
the difference that one is no longer limited by the weight
and grossness of the physical form. There is no
instantaneous change in one's state of mind. We enter the
realm of spirit with the same mental qualities we had
when we left the mortal form.
Imagine your body so light that it can float through
space, and be propelled in any direction by the action of
your will, and you will have some idea of your mind-body
or spiritual form, in which you will find yourself when you
lay aside your cumbersome and no longer useful physical
instrument.
You are already in this spirit form now, and this spirit
form is your personal self; but you have become so closely
identified with your physical form that you think it is all
there is of you. When you enter the spiritual world to
begin a larger experience, you will be astonished to find
how complete you are without a physical envelope.
Each person is a spiritual entity, and has potential
within their being for a soul of godlike qualities; and yet
very few are aware of this truth, which awakens a new
nobility and consciousness of power in everyone who
accepts it.
Divine Thought uncovers the mysteries that have
veiled the divine constitution of humanity, and enables
them to know that there is One within them who is eternal
and of life everlasting. In time you will awake to your
soul being, and realize, as everyone must realize sometime,
somewhere, that you are one with the Creator and a
manifestation of the very Presence of the Creator.
The soul is the life and foundation of both the physical
and spiritual bodies. Under present conditions, the soul
does not express much of its divine life or power through
humanity; but the knowledge, which is the basis of true
faith, is being broadcast to awaken the souls of humanity
to enable them to express more and more of spiritual
nobility, strength and beauty.
When that glorious state is reached where the soul
realizes that it is one with its Creator and is awake to the
delights of all the realms of Mind, then it will see and
understand the Reason for all things. It will transcend the
limitations of both the physical and spiritual forms of its
personality and will appear in the more perfect form of
Wisdom, a form radiant with the Light of Love.
The soul in its own spiritual estate needs not hands

108
with which to feel nor eyes with which to see, for it is all
sensation and all sight, a practically all-knowing form of
the God Mind. Soul can commune with soul by means of
radiant thought, and what one soul knows in any state of
Mind, all souls in that state know intuitively. The soul
may blend with the spheres of the angels and archangels
who exist in the Divine Mind, and vibrate in unison with
their blissful Wisdom, which radiates as the Light of Love
through all the spheres in the boundless expanse of
immortal worlds.
Even while we are living in a physical form, our souls
may be awakened to sense and know the joy of communion
with all the intelligence of the Divine Mind, and we
may sense the thrill and vigor of divine Power, as the
emanations of exalted souls, laden with celestial inspiration,
radiate to us.
The soul is a spiritual entity, and can truly express
itself only through a mind educated in spiritual truths. In
the majority of persons, the mind is educated in earthly
knowledge, but the principles of the soul-life are not
considered of practical use, so they are ignored. Instead of
being helped to manifest by the expression of love and
blessings, the soul is more often limited by condemnation
and false beliefs, which close up all the mental avenues
through which its nobility, power, and beauty would
shine forth.
As you educate your mind in the understanding of
Divine Wisdom and in the expression of Divine Love, your
soul will become alive with these qualities, and you will
become a center of living joy.
As you realize that the love of the Ever-Present is radiating
from within your soul, you will give it forth in thoughts
of blessing, and in words and deeds of kindness to all. The
rainbow tints of Divine Thought will illuminate your mind
until your positive good feelings dissolve all fear and pain,
and your presence fills the souls of mortals with celestial
gladness, so that they are quickened by your light and,
after a time, awakened to thrive in the full glory in which
they live.
As the germ of Omnipotence in you develops and
expands, you will feel more and more that your godlike
potential is blossoming within you; until your whole life
becomes a song of praise to the indwelling glory of
Jehovih.
Glorious, most glorious, to the perception of the soul

109
are those transcendent beings who inhabit the celestial
sphere. Each one is a globe of glory, radiant as a living
sun with the light and warmth of the Creator's eternal
Love and Wisdom.
It is the united activity, wisdom and power of all the
mighty souls of love, who, through ages of time, have
evolved to a high degree of self-conscious individuality,
that create the organic realms for our solar phalanx.
From this glorious sphere of Love/Intelligence, these
Angels and Archangels radiate their concentrated
Blessings of Love and Wisdom to all forms of life in the
Creator's universe, to quicken and awaken and develop
that latent germ of Divinity which lies slumbering in each
and every individual.

110
 THUS SPEAKS THE LIVING SOUL

Affirm :
I am an immortal child of the I AM.
I live in endless Splendor. I breathe the Spirit of
Eternity.
I see with Omniscient Eyes. I know that All is Good.
I am radiant with Omnipotent Love. I am living the
Way, and the Life Everlasting.
I and my Creator are One.

111
 DIVINE REALIZATION

Philosophy is very interesting to the intellect, but it

does not satisfy the heart. Science reveals the workings of
the laws of Jehovih's nature, but the secret of that
Eternal Presence is not discerned. Music is the most
uplifting and inspiring of the arts; it moves our souls and
often makes us feel what science and philosophy cannot
explain. Music attunes us to the Spirit, and causes us to
feel the deep pulsations of the soul nature.
Our Creator is Love, the great emotion of life, the
supreme expression that imparts life and motion to all
things.
To know this is to understand the essential Truth of
Being; but the mere intellectual apprehension of this
Truth will not satisfy the heart, nor fill life with the bliss of
the Divine Presence. Nor will mental acceptance of the
truth that the Creator is love impart to us the divine
expression, the Creator's transformative emotions, to our
feelings, so that one is forever aspiring to be a new being,
filled with the joyous health and happiness of the Spirit of
Love.
The Creator is love, and love does not flow into the
intellect; love enters the feelings and affections and inspires
all the emotions of the heart. The intellect has its use in
the development of a rational faith; the intellect sees the
light of the Ever-Presence, but the heart feels the ecstasy
of divine realization. The true way to realization is so
simple that many, after hearing of it, consider it of so little
importance that they continue to search among the
complex fabrications of philosophy for the joy which
comes only through the awakened emotions of the heart.
The difference between mortal love and the love of the
Creator is this: Mortal love is personal and thus limited in
its pleasure, and often causes pain because it is selfish.
Immortal love transcends all personal limitations; it is
impersonal and unlimited in its joy-giving power. Personal
love feels for a few; the love the Creator feels is for all.
If you would realize Jehovih, then LOVE! If you can
awaken your love nature, and, without thought of
recompense, pour yourself out as a blessing for others, you
will forget the petty vexations that spring from the limitations
of your personality; you will forget yourself in the supreme joy
of loving; you will realize the love for others which is the love of
the Creator.
Behold! An angel stands before you! He is all radiant
with the glory of the Creator's Presence. His face shines

112
with the realization of the beauty of holiness; every
feature expresses the purity, the tenderness, and the
nobility of Divine Love personified. His presence breathes
out the music of love, the harmony of heaven. His whole
being vibrates with the light of the Creator. Even his garments
are luminous with the joyous radiance that proceeds from his
soul. You see the image of the Creator's likeness, of Love,
and your soul is enraptured with the vision of divine loveliness,
as it feels the benediction of love streaming from the angelic
character.
That angel in all his beauty, in all his power, is the
realization of the Spirit of Divinity, is the vision of the
Creator, Love expressing through an individual form.
And that angel expresses the possibilities of your real
Self, your soul, the image and likeness of the Creator.
Within your soul are the attributes of Divinity, the powers
and possibilities of the mightiest archangel.
Let your soul express and you will realize that you are
an angel of the Ever-Present. When you walk the streets
and mingle with the people, keep in mind the truth that
you are that beautiful angel, radiant with joyous love to
all creatures, and you will find a new joy in life; you will
feel that the kingdom of heaven is now a divine verity, and
you will allow the truth which makes the kingdom harmonious
and perfect, the truth of love, to manifest through your
character.
Not by breathing exercises, not by mental gymnastics,
but by expressing love will you realize the Creator.
I have walked among people in the realization that I
existed only to impart the joyous light of love to
ignorance-darkened souls, and while radiating a blessing
to these souls in need, I have felt my soul thrilled with the
Omnipresence. I have felt the love of the Creator for
humanity, and to feel that is to feel what the prophets and
mystics of past ages felt, which endowed them with
wisdom and healing power. While listening to music I
have held myself in this attitude of mind: "I am Thy love to
all souls. I am the angel of Thy presence illuminating all
souls with the wisdom of love," and so great became the
ecstasy of my soul that I felt like crying out for joy. The
wonderful Breath of the Spirit became so mighty in its
deep, mysterious movements through my being that I
could scarcely contain myself.
Those who are unawakened conceive of the Creator as
a profound stillness; their idea of peace is a state of
inactivity. But there is no stillness anywhere. Only in the

113
realm of matter is there any degree of inactivity, and matter
is only relatively inactive in comparison with the more
refined activities of mind. As we enter the deeper nature
of humanity, the activity as well as the complexity of
active forces increases, and culminates in the Spirit of the
soul, which is the breath or motion of Omnipotence, the
emotion which is Love.
If mortals could but see the beauty of this truth, the
goodness of all that exists in infinite nature, they would
live to love and praise; they would rejoice in their power of
love, and become radiant blessings of love to each other.
You have no idea of the spiritual power that you may
realize by the exercise of the spirit of Love towards others.
You must begin sometime if you ever wish to enter the
kingdom of Love. Death will not instantly elevate you into
the kingdom of loveliness if you are unlovely in character.
Neither will death plunge you into any greater misery
than you now experience. The realization that your
existence continues will tend to free you from many false
beliefs and set you searching for the way which you
should have found while in the flesh; but if you have not
cultivated the expression of soul love, neither the Creator
nor the angels can immediately transform your feelings
so that you can appreciate an atmosphere of beauty and
refinement in the society of immortal souls of love and
wisdom.
But why wait for death? Embrace the opportunities
that present themselves in the eternal Now. Share that
love and compassion which covers and conquers all
things, for you will never walk the same path twice, and
an opportunity neglected is lost forever.
Begin with the lowliest creatures of earth. Think of the
tiny forms of life inhabiting the blades of grass, living
under the stones, swimming through the water, and filling
the woods with a murmuring music that chants the
praises of Universal Life. Every one of these tiny creatures
is an organization of mental energy individualizing the
Universal Mind and Substance. The little minds within
these beings do not die when the body decays; they
continue to exist in the Universal Mind. Your thoughts of
goodwill can aid the evolution of all these little minds. Do
you not feel sympathy with their active endeavors to grow
in experience? You can help them by blessing them with
your love-thoughts. When, for instance, you bless a

114
butterfly, all species of butterflies receive the waves of
thought-force which proceed from your mind, and their
minds are strengthened by your blessing. So you, with
your more highly developed powers of soul and mind, can
aid every little creature in existence.
The Creator loves and embraces all creatures in Infinite
love. If you would realize the Creator, you must enlarge
your love to feel as the Creator feels. In universal Love
there cannot be any condemnation for anything. Love
has no enemies.
Bless all things in the mineral, vegetable, and animal
kingdoms; then you will feel more inspired with love for
humankind.
Think of the myriads who are suffering physical pain
and mental anguish for lack of the love which would
quicken the healing power within their souls and give
them peace. Believe, when you send out your blessing of
love to them, that your love will set their souls to vibrating;
that they will feel the blessing and lift up their hearts
in praise to their Creator, who has inspired your thought
and feeling with an Ever-Present healing Peace. Do this in
the Creator's Name, for Love's sake, and you will be
warmed and healed by the love you shed abroad. In
loving others you heal yourself.
You will learn from this practice how to start the mighty
stream of love flowing, and once you have it started you
can direct it into any part of your own organism in need of
its life-giving and transforming power. It will start as a
little trickling rivulet, but as you encourage its expression,
it will wash from your mind the obstacles to its
progress as it flows outward through your nature. It will
wash away the mud and melt away the granite in your
mind; it will become a rushing torrent of spiritual energy
that will convert all the streams of your thought and feeling
into one mighty motive of divine purpose, which will
link your will and all the forces of your nature to the
omnipotent purpose of the Creator, and allow this Infinite
love-power to manifest through you.
This is the goal toward which evolution is pushing you.
This is the supreme attainment of divine unity with the
Ever-Present. This is the way to realize and manifest the
love which is Omnipotence.

115
 REALIZATION

These affirmations, when made repetitively in the

proper spirit, will awaken the feeling of divine love and
develop the awareness of the I AM within you:
I desire that the Infinite Spirit shall radiate through my
soul, mind, and body for the inspiration of humanity.
I am a radiant center of soul life to all in my world.
I am an impersonal lover of humanity. From my soul
flows the fountain of impartial and impersonal love to all
the children of the Ever-Present Creator.
With true understanding I behold the immortal soul of
each individual as a quenchless spark of Divinity, and to
these immortals, clothed in the deceptive garb of a mortal
personality, I give my spirit of living love.
I am a soul-sun of love and wisdom to all humankind. I
bless the good and the bad, knowing that all are children
of the Creator, in process of evolution.
My soul loves to feel that it is a strength and comfort to
all souls.
My soul loves to feel that it is fulfilling the work of
Divine Service by strengthening the poor in spirit.
Now am I one with the Creator and with all exalted
souls in heaven, and now the radiations of my love and
light reach out to all souls incarnate, uplifting and inspiring
all within my sphere of influence.
I am a link in a chain of souls, uniting Jehovih with the
lowest states of life, and through my love for all life I have
an omnipresent influence for good.
I praise and bless the evolving life in the mineral and
vegetable kingdoms of nature, and in response to my
recognition and blessing, a wave of omnipresent vitality
comes flowing back to me.
I recognize and bless the intelligence of the Ever-Present
that is striving to manifest throughout the animal
kingdom.
I bless the unenlightened ones in human form who
have not yet realized the omnipresence of their Creator. I
bless them with the quickening light of eternal life.
My words and thoughts of blessing clothe the spiritual
light in vibrant, substantial form, enabling the light of
Jehovih to reach the lowest depths of mortal mind.
My thoughts of truth shall be living, quickening seeds

116
of immortal life, sown in mortal minds; in the Creator's
good time they will bear fruit and lead minds to the Sun of
Righteousness.
I am a mighty magnet radiant with the attractive power
of Infinite Love and compassion, that continually draws
souls to the immortal presence of the I AM.
My life and mind and soul shall serve and praise the
Ever-Present, whose pervasive Spirit has led me into the
path of everlasting bliss.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto
you.
This true philosophy of life revives the awareness of the
Ever-Present's healing power. It is alive with healing
energy. The same mighty Spirit of Love that healed
through the prophets of old is willing and able to heal the
sick now, if the mental conditions of faith and expectancy
are aroused. This service is valuable to the extent that it
allows each individual to unfold his or her true potential
in service to the Great I AM. While no one can reach
fullness of service when sick in mind or body, the healing
of the sick is not the ultimate answer to the planet's
needs. Only the great awakening of humanity to Infinite
Goodness will heal the woes of earth.
You can help by holding an awareness of the planet's
needs and by pouring your blessings of healing love upon
those who are reading these truths in expectation of healing.
Even though you yourself may be sick, do this in the
Creator's Love, and you will become one with the healing
currents from the spiritual worlds. You will feel uplifted,
inspired, and healed by the Spirit of Love which unites all
blessings into a great battery of healing power. It will grow
stronger as greater numbers cooperate by sending out
healing thoughts. Wonderful will be the results!
Almost miraculous have been some of the results
already. The angelic worlds stand ready to pour down
their blessings and power upon us. They are but waiting
for us to open the door of our hearts to start the current
flowing. The Infinite Spirit will enter the current of our
loving thoughts and inspire us with Its healing power.
With this glorified Presence of love in mind, pour out your
thoughts and feelings toward others who, like yourself,
are looking for healing.
You do not need a fixed thought, as your feelings will
form thoughts of blessing, and this concept will help you
understand how to begin. "I bless all who are sick in heart

117
 with the healing love of the Ever-Present, whose Spirit is
the life of my soul. "You will become all aglow with healing
love. You will develop the capacity to realize heavenly
feelings. Joy, such as you have never before realized, will
gladden your heart and enlighten your soul. The Creator
will become real to you. What a transforming power this
practice, long continued by many devoted souls, will
bring into the currents of the world mind!
The Creator is in an Infinite state of Love. But only as
mortals in negative states of life realize the love of the
Ever-Present does Love gain power in the lower strata of
mortal existence and influence human society.
Therefore, every heart that pours out the love of the
Creator toward humanity helps to increase the power of
the Infinite Spirit with mortals, and becomes a fulcrum
upon which the Creator has chosen to reset a divine lever
to lift humanity out of its state of ignorance and misery.
I know you will get wonderful realizations from this
practice, because my own experience and many letters
from those who are expressing their soul-love in this way
confirm what I say.

118
 ORGANIZATION

In the beginning was Organizing Power. Through the

process of organization, Infinite Life took form as the
Creator's universal nature. Without the law and process
of organization there could be no form of any kind.
Whenever the Spirit of the Creator has anything to
accomplish, an organization of atoms, of forces, of individuals,
or of souls is evolved for its accomplishment. Even the atom
is considered by modern science to be an organization
composed of a nucleus surrounded by a large or small
number of electrons. Thus, the atom is composed of a central
spark of force with a number of smaller particles of force
surrounding it. Atoms are aggregated together to build every
variety of form in existence. The solar system is like an atom
greatly magnified. Every force, material or spiritual, evolves a
suitable organization for its expression and manifestation.
If, in the early history of the planet, atoms had not
begun to be organized by that Intelligent Presence to
build forms, the human form could never have been
produced. The human body is the most perfect corporeal
organization that has yet been evolved in nature by the
progressive power of the I AM.
This demonstration of Organization is not limited to
the material world. It is the formative power of the spiritual
worlds as well. We see an intelligent power working
to organize atoms into forms for the expression of various
qualities, and we see the same power working through
human intelligence to draw together minds of like motive
and thought for the fulfillment of ideals. What we see
"nature" doing seemingly in a blind way, and what we see
human beings doing however imperfectly, we may be
sure that more spiritualized "nature" and more spiritual
beings are doing in harmony with a greater degree of
wisdom and a freer expression of power that pertains to
higher states of being.
Around and above us there is a mighty organization of
souls, of living, eternal beings, invisible to physical sight
but nevertheless of great influence over the minds of
humanity. As the planets are held by the attraction of the
sun, or the little particles of electric energy are held by the
central spark in the atom, so the sons and daughters of
the Creator, the souls of "just humans made perfect," are
attracted to work together as a cohesive organic unit to
form the mightiest organization in existence.
All souls who have awakened to the consciousness of

119
the power within, all who have realized the Creator as the
soul power of their being, and have gained dominion over
material things and forces by the exercise of that power,
have, in the spiritual worlds, risen to the soul estate of
enlightened angelic beings. They live and work in
harmony for the education and upliftment of humanity,
both incarnate and discarnate. They have realized in
their own souls the power of the Ever-Present. They realize
divine compassion for souls bound by the limitations of
ignorance, and they work and pray unceasingly that the
light may penetrate the darkness of mortal ignorance and
dispel the gloom and sorrow which oppress humanity.
If there were only the mechanical law of reaping what
we sow, we might never hope for freedom from the
unceasing fruitage of mistaken thoughts and acts. We
would be bound forever to reap all the evil thoughts that
we had sown in the Mind of the world. The seeds of past
wrong thoughts would continually come to fruitage in
discordant conditions of mind and body. The Hindus
taught that souls are bound to the wheel of the law of
cause and effect, bound by what they termed karma.
They deified karma and gave it unlimited power, as the
unenlightened Christians deified the devil and made him
almost equal with God; both were bound in slavish fear to
their own limited beliefs. But we now have caught a gleam
of heavenly truth. We now know that sin and sickness
have no right to limit the soul's expression. We know that
through faith in the goodness of truth, through exercise
of our positive thoughts of truth, we may dissolve the evil
seeds of past sowing and consume all their rank mental
growths. By the mercy of divine Truth, by the grace of our
Ever-Present Creator and the assistance of our
overshadowing host of angels, we are awakened from the sins
of ignorance; our souls realize their inherent, God-given
dominion over all karmic laws, over all mental causation.
We are enthroned with the Power to shape our own
destinies, in the realization of the Omnipotent, of the
Cause of causes, and the glorious truth of divine Love.
The beneficent light of heaven is poured into our souls
by the ministering hosts of the Ever-Present, and the
slumbering soul spark within us is quickened; new
aspirations are born, and we desire to know and feel higher
ideals. The quenchless flame of love is kindled within our
souls, and our bodies become filled with and healed by
the living glory of our immortal nature. To the age-long

120
work of the Creator and the overshadowing hosts of
enlightened angels must all credit be given for the golden
glory that is beginning to illuminate the Mind of the
world, which is now as never before saving humanity
from the dominion of sin, sickness, and death. The work
that the Creator gave humanity to do has grown in love
and power through the ages despite our shortcomings,
especially in the spiritual realms. Now the hosts of
heaven of every race and creed and color are marshaled
for the glorious attainment of spiritual maturity, which
will eventually lead to the manifestation of the kingdom of
love and peace, health and prosperity, on earth as it is
manifested in heaven.
With wondrous rapidity, minds are awakening to the
light of truth that is shed all about them. Souls are being
kindled all over the world. Many voices in many tongues
are telling of the healing, saving Spirit of Truth, and
whenever the full conditions are met, the Spirit heals.
Some have tried to gain a monopoly on Truth and claim
all rights to its promulgation. No organization can bind or
limit the great Light that is flooding the earth. Many
organizations have been especially useful in overcoming
the prejudice and ignorance of old creeds and superstitions,
and providing protection against the world's savage
resistance to Truth for the pioneers of Light in the wilderness
of ignorance.
"As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they become
the children of God", radiant with the divine glory of love
and wisdom individualized within the soul. They are led
by the Spirit of peace and purity. They are fed constantly
on supernal love and wisdom. Their souls glow with the
substance divine, and they know their kinship as
children of Jehovih. Even while incarnate, they know the
companionship of the immortal servants of the Great I
AM, ancient in wisdom and power. They love the Creator
and strive to implement the Divine Will, and the Ever-Present
Power of mercy and grace abides within and
expresses from their souls, radiating from them to
quicken and strengthen other souls. They are ministered
unto by the holy angels, and in turn minister unto souls
in need.
In the name and love of the Ever-Present Creator, we
find the fulfillment of all the desires of our souls. In Jehovih's
name comes the ministering power of the holy angels, filling
the soul with love, the mind with wisdom, and the body with

121
life and health; and even bringing into the life of the one who
fulfills the divine law, a prosperity which is unfailing.
Your soul is composed of the glory of the Creator, of the
essence of that radiant, divine substance, sparkling with
conscious realization of endless life and love. Know that
your soul is alive with the glory of the Creator. Strive to
realize that your body is filled with that glory, the glory
which radiates from the perfecting presence of the
Creator. The Ever-Present is the visibility of Absolute
Perfection to your soul. The Creator is the Door to eternal
life, now. Draw that Divine glory into your soul, for the
Ever-Present is the perfecting Power within your soul.
That Divine essence and substance are the life of your
soul. The Eternal glorious consciousness will grow so
great within your soul that you will transcend the limitations
of mortal knowing, and you will feel and know as the
angels feel and know, with the full intuition of the omniscient
Mind of the Creator. You will partake of the light of heaven.

122
 PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

How is the realization of the living Truth to be gained?

By unceasing devotion to the Creator through daily study
of divine truth and by daily prayer for more of the Spirit in
heart and mind, united to mental affirmation of the love
and wisdom and perfection in the soul.
You are in this world for no other purpose than the
development and expression of your soul, through
service to your Creator by serving the needs of others.
Through fulfilling this necessity of your being, you will
find enduring growth and satisfaction, and in no other
way. If you turn all your attention to earthly things and do
not develop your immortal soul, you will not find enjoyment
in the realms of light when you leave this world, and you
will feel no attraction toward the realms where congregate
the enlightened and wise souls of heaven. Unless
you develop a love for Divine Wisdom, and express Love in
helping others while here, the social life of the heavenly
spheres will prove distressing and confusing to you,
because there is no self-centered happiness there any
more than here, except in the activity of the higher faculties
of the mind and soul. So, if your love is for earthly
things and affairs entirely, if your treasure is in this
world, your heart will be here and you will remain in the
atmosphere of earth as an earthbound spirit, hovering
about the marts of trade, the home, the club, or the
tavern, according to your quality, in an unsettled state of
weary search for the peace which earth-life cannot give
you.
Once we see that we are immortal minds, creating an
immortal destiny by the quality of our thoughts, desires,
and aspirations, we feel how important it is for us to make
the building of a noble, sincere and generous character
the business of life.
People in the world talk about and live on the negative
or inconsequential side of life. The frivolous and attractive
aspects of mortal life are not endowed with eternal life
and joy. They are all transient and, as far as we are
concerned, must come to an end. When minds live in the
contemplation of material things, apart from spiritual
realities, they lose hold of their soul life and come to nothing.
They die sooner than would be necessary if they had
kept in tune with the life of the Creator within and above
the soul.

123
 We need to magnetize our minds by daily contact with
the central dynamo of Life in order to partake of the divine
vitality that will enable us to overcome sickness and
premature death.
Life forms die when they can no longer be made to serve
the purpose of Life. Those who keep their conversation
and their thoughts in the light of heaven become
immortalized while here; they live in heaven while here, and
when their bodies tire of physical activities, they lay aside
their physical forms as they would lay aside a garment no
longer of use. To them, the physical and spiritual worlds
have become blended into one great reality in which they
live eternally, whether here or there as to visible
presence.
After the discovery of the power of mental affirmations,
New Thought students are apt to underestimate the value
of prayer. This comes from a mistaken belief that the soul
is all-sufficient in itself. The individual soul is as dependent
upon the Creator and the invisible inhabitants of the
spiritual realms for its sustenance, strength, and proper
development as the personality is dependent upon mortal
teachers and parents for its care and education, and
upon the farm and the store for its supplies as well.
Some have a vague idea of the Creator as a principle,
capable of thinking without a mind, of acting without the
use of form; a formless energy that is watching about
everywhere, ready to do everyone a good turn without
being asked. Remember that the law of cause and effect
operates with the same undeviating exactitude in the
spiritual realms as in this world. If you want to gain any
effect, to heal a disease, to overcome a habit, you must
start into activity a cause equal to that effect.
The exalted consciousness of Divinity has demonstrated
that It chooses to interact with material things, or
with mortal minds, through the mediation of souls. The
Creator has evolved souls to share in Creation by being
intermediaries in the implementation of Divine Will.
Souls are individualized activities of the Creator. Souls
are the eyes, ears, and hands of the Creator. Souls who
have awakened to the inner consciousness of the Creator
feel the movement of the Infinite Spirit, and through the
impulse of that inner Will of wisdom and mercy, they
work from the spiritual side of life to fulfill the prayers of
humanity.
We are co-workers with our Creator in the manifestation

124
of Divine Will and Wisdom. The Creator needs us!
The Creator has chosen to be dependent upon us to act
out the Divine Will, just as we are dependent upon the
Infinite for the power to act. The Ever-Present is our Power
to act. We, incarnate, are also dependent upon our elder
brothers and sisters in the spiritual world for many of the
blessings of health and prosperity which we experience in
this life. By affirmative and constructive prayer to the
Creator, we set in motion an intelligent power which
communicates our desire to the proper department of the
Divine Mind, and when the desire has grown to sufficient
strength through continual prayer, it furnishes a basis of
mental energy through which Divine Intelligence may
operate to bring results.
If we do not pray to the Divine for what we need as the
Creator's servants, we do not make our desires known in
heaven. All desires are like prayers, and all desires bring
results equal to their strength and intelligence. Prayer
gives our desires clarity of form and instills them with
power. If we have a desire, that desire goes out from our
mind and works on other minds to bring results. It does
not rise above the plane of thought in which it is generated.
Selfish thoughts draw attention from the realms of
selfishness, while benevolent thoughts are perceived in
the higher realms of Benevolence. A thought grows
stronger as it is held daily; its force and ability are
increased by added desire. But simple desire works
single-handed. A desire formed into prayer to the Creator
gains the cooperation of spiritual beings. Prayer sets in
motion the Providence of the Creator, which is an organized
power composed of multitudes of mighty spiritual beings.
Every prayer qualified by unselfish love and altruistic
aspiration creates a thought-form which becomes visible
to the angels of the Creator, and the Infinite Spirit
of wisdom works through them to bring about conditions
for the answering of the prayer. The many limitations to the
answering of a prayer cannot always be overcome
immediately, and so the prayer must be persisted in until the
forces of heaven and earth are able to combine to bring about
its fulfillment. If, through lack of faith or discouragement, the
prayer ceases, co-operation from the heavenly realms may
soon cease, because the angels may be dependent upon
human minds for the thought force necessary for them to
operate in the mind of the world. The power of the Creator's

125
angelic forces have, under certain circumstances, limited
conscious activity on the earth plane without the
assistance of mental organizations of persons on this
plane. They require our faith and cooperation to provide
the energy, the step-down transformer, the battery,
the anchor, to induce the physical manifestation
on our physical plane. One must never discount the
power of unity of thought.
The world is again waking up to the realization of the
power of prayer. Even the most conservative orthodox
journals are giving space to those who write of the health,
the prosperity, and the general spiritual good that has
come in answer to prayer. Prayer serves a purpose that
simple desire, affirmation, or suggestion cannot serve,
although these methods are very necessary for the proper
development of the mind and soul.
For many years, my life seemed an abject failure. I
could not make a success of anything. I was sick in body
and morbid in mind. I lacked individuality. But I learned
that there was a Way to find the Creator in our lives. I
learned how to commune with the Ever-Present. Through
learning how to pray, I found the power in Jehovih that
gave me individuality. Through prayer I drew unto myself
that essence of the Spirit which made me a conquering
soul. Through prayer, my soul reached out to its Creator
and received sustenance from that living World of
Ever-Lasting Life. My soul drew on the Spirit and became
aflame with divine glory.
A material illustration may give greater clarity to the
value of prayer for a human soul. There hangs from the
ceiling a live wire charged with the positive electric current
from a mighty dynamo. In my hands I hold the
negative wire. I reach up and touch this negative wire
to the positive wire, and immediately there is a blinding
flash of electric light. Thus it is that humanity is glorified.
The Creator is the positive Mind, the positive
Spirit. Humanity is the negative mind, the negative
spirit. During prayer, people's minds reach out toward
the positive Mind of the Creator, toward the Mind that
is full of realized power, generated in the dynamo of
Omnipotent Love. When the prayer becomes sincere
and intense with love and devotion, there occurs that
wondrous meeting of the human and the Divine, the
negative and the positive; and the flash of immortal
glory fills the negative mind with a quickening power

126
which is the source of life and health.
Many have felt in greater or lesser degree this touch of
the Divine; it was a time of realization for them, and they
look back to it with tender recollection, and also look
forward to the future state of enlightenment in heaven as
a continuous feast of spiritual communion, like that one
glorious experience of the past. But why wait for heaven
when heaven waits for you? Such communion may be a
daily fact of your experience, and its realization should be
sought for daily. Let it become the dominant purpose of
your life to grow spiritually in order to manifest the
presence of the Creator. Gradually turn all your desires in
that direction and compel all your destiny to work toward
that end. Do not let any apparently limiting condition
thwart your purpose. By prayer, you cultivate the
cooperation of your Creator and hosts of angels, and
when working with the Ever-Present as your faith and
strength, all things are possible; you can become
completely empowered. The All Power wills your permanent
success.
Pray to the Creator and your prayer will reach the most
exalted plane of power, drawing to you the blessings of
the highest and holiest souls in heaven.
In the example of the prayer which follows, the prayerful
attitude is united with the affirmation of truth,
making a very powerful combination:

MOTHER-FATHER CREATOR! I am a soul-child born

from the blending of Thy divine attributes. Satisfy me
with Thy love. In my soul are cradled the masculine
and feminine potencies of Divinity. My soul is an
organization of Thy love, wisdom and power; an image of all
Thy qualities; a seed of Divinity. Through living in the
glorious sunshine of Thy love, all these wonderful soul
potencies are quickening. Glorify me with the illumination
of Thy loving presence, that I also may glorify Thee.
I am a perfect soul born from Thy perfect nature, but I
need to live in the sunshine of Thy Spirit, that the power
within may grow and develop as a seed of the Creator
sown in an earthly body.
I need to commune with Thee consciously, thinking the
thoughts of Thy Mind and feeling the emotions of Thy
great Heart of Love in order that this negative earth-mind
and body may become filled with Thy life, making it a
perfect dwelling place for the expansion of the essence of

127
soul power within.
My soul is illuminating and healing this mind and body
as I commune with Thy Spirit. My soul becomes more
glorious as I exercise Thy love and wisdom. I am Thy child
in soul and spirit. Thy glory is transforming my body and
enlightening my soul, so that in harmonious awareness I
am elevated by Thy high desires and holy aspirations. I
am complete and satisfied in Thee. I am Thy immortal
child. All Power and Glory to Thee forever, Jehovih.

128
 A HEALING PRAYER

Living Creator!
I recognize that my life is one with Thy unlimited life
and power.
Thy constructive Mind is within me, building my mind
and body in strength and perfection.
I open my mind to the influx of Thy mighty Presence of
health and peace.
Thou art within me a fountain of vitality flowing into
every faculty and organ of my being.
Thou art the Power within my nature, and Thy life and
health have all power to regenerate and heal my body.
I am organizing Thy life and strength into a mind and
body of health and perfection.
Thy substance is feeding and restoring every part of my
body to positive health.
I praise Thy healing life and intelligence in every organ,
in every nerve, in every atom of my flesh.
I praise Thy glorious wisdom which is illuminating my
soul and purifying my mind of every limiting thought.
I praise Thy tender, healing Love which invigorates and
upholds me and dissolves away all fear.
O Living Creator, this is Thy holy temple; make it a perfect
dwelling place from which shall radiate Thy healing
love and wisdom to all Thy children.
O Creator, glorify me with Thy healing power, that I
also may glorify Thee.
Read this prayer over several times, strive to assimilate
every word within your being, and then sit quietly with
eyes closed while the Spirit of the Creator flows through
your nature, fulfilling your desire.

129
 TO OVERCOME ANTAGONISM

Living Creator!
Bless their minds with Thy wonderful love which
dissolves away all vindictive feelings. Hold their personalities
in the glowing presence of Thy harmonizing love
until all their antagonistic feelings are melted away.
O Creator, melt from our hearts all hateful thoughts
and feelings. I bless them with Thy love which overcomes
all their feelings against me. I feel so great a love flowing
from Thy Presence within my soul that when they think of
me they are disarmed and cannot feel aught but
kindness.
I bless my world, visible and invisible, with Thy
harmonizing love. All is love.

130
 HEALING LOVE

Living Creator!
I bless all the intelligent centers in my body with Thy
healing love. From my awakening soul I pour healing love
into every part of my body.
Thy love streams out from Thy Presence, filled with the
power to heal my whole body, and it holds me in eternal
peace. Thy love is my mighty protection.
I praise Thy Spirit of Love.

131
 THOU ETERNAL SPIRIT OF WISDOM

Awaken and inspire my soul with Thy Divine Breath.

Let my mind become illumined with Thy glory. Inspire all
my thoughts with the pure light of Thy Omniscient Mind.
I pray with all the sincerity of my mind for the Spirit
that shall quicken my intuition and lead me into the
highest, holiest understanding of the mysteries of Thy
Divine Life.
Guide me, O Thou Great Creator, in the path of light
and love. With all the fervor of my emotional nature I
desire Thy wisdom. Inspire my judgment and increase
my power of discrimination. Help me to live by my
Highest Light under the inspiration of Thy Wisdom and
Power, that the power of Thy Spirit may become manifest
through my mind and body, for the increase of Thy Glory
in the souls of humanity.

133
 SERENITY

I am poised in the majestic Will of the Creator.

The Ever-Present's will is cleansing me of mortal
attachments and setting me free. All darkness of the past is

no one except as I see the I AM in that immortal Presence.
I am living in eternity for eternity, and the things of
time do not affect or disturb me.
It makes no difference to me what people think of me,
for I am centered in the love of the Almighty.
Only what the Creator desires for me shall come to me.
I am surrounded by that Mighty, Protecting Love,
which dissolves from me all mortal propensities.
No evil can come nigh my dwelling-place because I put
my trust in the Ever-Present.
All affections and desires of the past that were not consistent
with Truth are cast into the ocean of oblivion.

136
 PEACE

I affirm my perfect freedom in all directions and on all

planes. My soul is the Power of the Creator and has been
given the power to heal all the ills of my flesh and all the
inharmony in my environment.
The Creator will fill in all the broken places in my life's
path with love and wisdom and power.
My soul life accepts and knows this Power, and from
henceforth I rest in this Power in safety. All my surroundings
are peaceful.
The light of heaven shall yet dawn in my life, and I shall
share in its glory. My soul shall gain victory. All is good!

137
 A CONCEPTION OF THE CREATOR

The basis of all systems of religious thought is God, the

Creator. Every new philosophy is founded on a new
conception of this one primal Power. The many seekers
after God are like the proverbial blind men who tried
through the limitation of touch to get a conception of an
elephant. One got hold of the tail, and to him the elephant
was like a rope. To the one who found the trunk, the
elephant was like a snake. Running against his broad
side, another was certain that the elephant was like a
wall. From the shape of a leg the fourth was sure the
elephant was like a tree. In like manner all the limited
conceptions of God are but partial views of the Infinite
and Eternal One. We might as well accept as a starting
place the fact that, from the very meaning of the words
infinite and eternal, which are used as descriptive of
Deity, God is nothing less than the Whole. We must see
that God is at least as great as the vast universe; and, if
we concede that all is a manifestation of one Power, there
will be room in our idea of God for all the expressions that
come to our minds through growth in knowledge.
The Hindu Vedantists postulated an abstract, impersonal
being who was beyond all ideas of consciousness,
neither conscious nor unconscious, so immutable that it
was incapable of generating a universe, and so absolutely
quiescent and peaceful that in it there was no thought or
desire or activity of any kind. After formulating this
entirely incomprehensible idea of God, they were led to
think that this absolute Being was the only reality and
the only truth; that all else was nothing, unreal and
illusive; that all created things were the "figments of a
fictitious illusion"; that both the internal and external
order of things, the earth and earthly beings, and the
heavenly states with their countless hosts were all a vast
hypnotism; an endless succession of dreams that were to
be escaped by absorption into the abstract state of the
Eternal. To escape the joys of life as well as the sorrows
was the aim of every true aspirant for emancipation from
the bondage of existence, and all effort was toward the
end of sublimating the mind to the degree that the
individuality would lose itself in the one great Essence of
existence.
But the pendulum of thought has now swung to the
opposite extreme, and humanity at present is not seeking
to lose its individuality, but to build it stronger; not desiring

138
to escape existence, but to enter more deeply into it.
The conquering and overcoming activities of the western
races are the expression of a divine method, in that they
are conducive to the development of great individualities.
There was truth in the Hindu ideas of God and in their
methods of spiritual worship, but it was not the whole
truth; just as there is partial truth in the ideas of God
prevalent in the orthodox world. The Hindu system of
thought vividly grasped the Soul of the universe as the
supreme reality, but denied that there was any use for the
mind and body of the universe; so all effort was toward
the reduction of the human mind and body to a state of
pure unresisting quiescence. The occidental mind is
infatuated with the material side of existence, and it is
only beginning to comprehend or acknowledge that the
physical universe has a subjective or mental side. Hence,
very little attention has been given to the development of
Truth except the faculties or qualities that deal with
manifested forces.
The soul has not been considered worthy of any attention,
nor is it thought by many to be anything more than a
name; in fact, so strong is the materialistic spirit of the
age that, even among certain metaphysicians who have
formulated the laws of the invisible but omni-active Mind,
there is a strong repugnance to the idea that the Divine
Soul of the Whole is individualized in the human form.
Some think that, so far as the laws of mind will serve the
personal ego in conquering the forces that have to be
contended with to fulfill the needs of mortal existence,
so far, only, are they good. But the pendulum of human
development will find its poise between these two extremes,
and the philosophies of the East and of the West will be united
for the production of a new evolution of beings who, while
powerful in individuality and ability to surmount every
limitation of negative existence, will nevertheless realize
their full power and wisdom through the acknowledgment
and expression of the higher potencies, qualities, and
attributes of the Soul life of God.
We are rapidly outgrowing the belief in evil that has
shrouded the mind of the world for so many ages. To the
oriental mind, all existence was a form of evil, even the
highest states of manifested life in the heavenly spheres.
All was looked upon as limitation and bondage, and only
in the Absolute was there enduring rest from the bondage
to everlasting transmigration and change. To be sure,

139
there was the greater evil of the deluded souls sunk in sin
and misery, with no aspiration for emancipation; and the
lesser evil of living for the welfare of others; but at its best,
life was criticized and condemned as evil, and escape
from life was the only good. With all their metaphysical
subtlety, the dark shadows of evil covered their minds
and limited their perception of Truth.
Later religionists placed humanity in the midst of two
great contending forces of Good and Evil; but the good
was much nearer and more easily and quickly realized
than in the most ancient philosophies, for it was not
considered necessary to go through a number of incarnations,
as in the Hindu system of thought, before the ties of
attachment could be cut and the good attained. One had
only to wage the fierce fight against evil in the present, to
find a pleasant future, secure in the arms of paradise for
all eternity.
We no longer look upon existence as evil even in greater
or lesser degrees, nor do we see in the universe of God the
opposing forces of Good and Evil. But we rejoice in the
knowledge that it is ALL good; we observe the lesser good
and greater good; good undeveloped and good developed;
but from its worst to its best aspect, from the lowest to the
highest degree and form of manifestation, it is all good.
We now comprehend the great truth that we stand in
the midst of a growing and evolving universe. In and
behind it all are manifesting the purpose and the will of
the omnipotent Creator. Whether we stand on a planet
whose humanity is young in the expression of the divinity
latent within it, or on a planet older and wiser and more
well rounded in the individualization and expression of
the omniscient intelligence of the Creator, it is all good.
The young planet with its warring, savage humanity, and
the older planet with its humanity of peaceful, godlike
beings, are alike formed from the universal substance of
the Creator. The love of the Infinite One is shed as
graciously upon the warring tribes of cannibals filled with
hatred and cruelty, as upon the angelic beings radiant
with the consciousness of Divinity. The patient love of the
Eternal is wise with the knowledge that ALL is Its own
evolving substance, pregnant with the Infinite Life that
shall awaken, during the endless evolutions of time, the
intelligence of each atom, as of each mind, to the fullest
realization of the intelligence and purpose of the ALL.
We may look upon the cosmos as the manifestation of

140
 an almighty battery of energy, a divine, conscious battery,
so that the duality of "matter and energy" created by
materialistic science will be resolved into the conception
of one Omnipotent Intelligence, expressing Itself through
the positive and negative poles of Universal Substance.
The objective universe of so-called matter is the negative
aspect of the one Universal Substance, the negative pole
of the great mental battery. All substance is capable of
endless development in intelligence; the subjective
realms and states of existence are this same Substance in
a more refined degree of expression, in a more positive
and intelligent state of manifestation. In and around the
negative realms and worlds is the individualization of the
One Substance less developed in intelligence, while
farther up in the states and conditions of sublimated and
spiritualized existence are the beings who have grown
radiant with the positiveness that is inherent in the
inmost and all-comprehending sphere of omnipotent,
omniscient and omnipresent Consciousness, the Soul of
the vast whole, the I AM.
Our minds expand and thrill with the sublime conception
of the magnitude and mightiness of the Creator of the
universe, an individualized and forever individualizing
expression of the eternal and unmanifest, whose negative
body, the physical universe, is infused and sustained by
a positive mind-body, the spiritual universe. The Whole is
forever developing intelligence and perfection as that
great Soul comes more and more into expression, infusing
the positive and negative poles of the Infinite with
more of life, love and wisdom, and manifesting in each
succeeding cycle of progression more of the perfect grace
and power that is inherent in the Soul.
Our hope enlarges and our faith grows sure of the
possibilities of our own unfoldment, for we see that the
Creator is individualized while remaining as the Whole,
and the whole is forever developing Its power of expressing
Divinity. As the positive Mind of the Ever-Present
grows more positive, that Mind infuses Its positive
intelligence into the negative body of existence, so that
negative substance continually grows more intelligent. And
through this, the unceasing process of individualization
of being, as an epitome of the Whole, is polarizing the
intelligence and power and substance of the Creator toward
the development and expression of a more positive and
enduring individuality.

141
 We are each one an individualized soul, being polarized
and organized from the love and wisdom and power of the
Soul of the Creator, and each individual soul has organized
a positive and negative pole of mental and physical
energies that are drawing constantly from the positive
and negative poles of the mind and body of the Creator.
So it is evident that as individualization is a law of all life,
subjective as well as objective, all beings that ever evolved
from the bosom of Divinity still continue and will ever
continue to progress in Divinity through the various
stages of human, angelic, and archangelic being. It does
not take much imagination to see the supernatural
universe filled with the myriads of beings who have lived
in human form, and to see perpetuated in more sublime
form the trees and flowers and all the beauties of earthly
scenery on a grander and more varied scale.
We can imagine the older, wiser, and more powerful
souls in the position of gods and goddesses (not meaning
Creators, but high-raised angels), as radiant suns of
spiritual life and love to the less developed souls attracted
to them and their kingdoms for wisdom and love, the
appropriation of which will give them greater growth and
stronger powers for spiritual expression.
With what exalted emotions we contemplate the idea of
these spheres of spiritual beings, all working in harmony
and obedient to the law of love and life, and seeking to
make their realizations of benefit to those less developed;
so that each planet is surrounded by its mental and
spiritual worlds of living beings, who appropriate the
Light from higher states of Mind and bring it into the
lower states, all working as a constant blessing and
upliftment to incarnate humanity. In this truth we have
one explanation of the teachings of a myriad of religions
of the past. There has been truth in all teachings that
have been wafted to earth from the heavens above for the
spiritualization and education of humanity, and our
system of thought must be large enough to embrace all
that is good of the past, as well as the discoveries of
modern scientific research; for in the Whole there is that
which will satisfy every human emotion and desire.
Those who long for absorption into the Absolute, as
well as those who wish to enter Nirvana, may work out
their desire to their own satisfaction, without limiting the
good of any; and all who delight in the expansion and

142
development of their individuality will find boundless
possibilities for growth and progression throughout
eternity.

143
 THE GOD IN HUMANITY

Man and woman are the highest expression of the

Creator, and they can evolve to a higher type of being
through the understanding and recognition of the truth
that they are the Mind of the Creator through and
through, from soul to physical atoms.
Humanity is personifying as much of the Creator as it
realizes; manifesting the life and intelligence that it has
appropriated from the Universal Source.
The enlightened man and woman are conscious that
their substance and life is the Creator. Their minds and
bodies have been educated to that degree of divine
consciousness where they can truly realize and affirm:
"I and my Creator are one." They have polarized so much of
the Infinite Intelligence into their brains, and educated the
cells of their bodies to express so much of life and
intelligence, that every part of their beings is positive
God-Mind, developed from negative mind into a
consciousness of power and dominion that commands
the respect and obedience of all negative and undeveloped
forms of mind. They are the temples of the living Creator, and
the Ever-Present lives in and glorifies their entire nature.
The negative conditions of disease and death find no
place within their organisms, for each atom has become
positive with Conscious Life; the latent healing power
resident within each living cell of tissue, which is a certain
manifestation of life and spirit, has evolved until the
whole body expresses the healing Spirit of the Creator.
There is no craving for the gratification of the senses or
longing for the companionship of any being or beings, for
the soul has awakened to conscious unity with the bliss
of the eternal Being, and realizes that it is an organized
expression of the masculine and feminine principles of
the Divine Mind, a complete whole within Itself. Having
educated the sense mind to the level of its own plane, it is
able to hold in equilibrium the magnetic and electric
forces of the human battery, and so satisfy the spiritual
nature with divine peace and harmony.
The All-Mind is the mighty key to this spiritualized
nature, the vital tone to which every atom of their bodies
is attuned, and their lives are radiant with a celestial
melody as It vibrates throughout the tiny cell-spheres
filled with Universal Life and Love.
The enlightened man and woman live in the opulence

144
of Omnipresent Love, and when they retire from the world
for divine communion, they are permeated with Its
supreme glory, which transfigures them and holds them
in the ecstasy of immortality. They are that Love individualized,
and are filled with the eternal energy of giving and
receiving. They are perpetual springs, for from their
hearts and souls there emanates the blessing of universal
love to all; from their minds flow the illuminated thoughts
of truth, filled with freeing, healing grace for humanity;
their lips speak forth the words of everlasting life and joy,
and their hands impart the healing touch.
Through their intuition and acquired knowledge, they
furnish to their associates valuable and useful information;
the tone of their voices interests and impresses
those with whom they come in contact; and through the
truth which dwells in their own lives they are able to give
to others the pearl of great price. Their friends, for whom
and with whom they are working, receive with them from
the one living, invisible Source, whose center is everywhere.
Knowing truly how to receive and how to give, how to
attract and how to express, they live in greater fullness,
for they are cooperating with the law of divine circulation
that fills their emptiness from the limitless store.
They live in the understanding of their union with the
inexhaustible Source of all, the inexhaustible productiveness,
the supreme Love which is all-sufficient in all places.
Having but one great desire, the healing, awakening,
and freeing of the Creator's beloved, they are in tune with
the mighty purpose of the Creator, which gives them a
power and wisdom that penetrates to the root cause of all
manifestations. All forces in the universe conspire to
carry out their will, and success crowns their efforts with
perfect accomplishment.
The limitations of matter have disappeared from the
consciousness of the enlightened man and woman, for
their pure penetration into the essence of things has
resolved all the different and varied forms of manifestation
into the one responsive Substance, Who acts on their
will because they have entered into the Consciousness
that is the essence of all substance. From this plane of
causation they can move the interior springs of all lives
and, as an embodiment of the Creator, they cause all
things to conform to their mighty purpose.
These divine souls, standing in the consciousness of
the real and true, see all things as they are and not as

145
they seem to the eye of uneducated sense. To their vision,
the universe is spread out as a limitless sea of intelligent
mental forces, a vibrating ocean of light and life,
glistening from every atom with the effulgence of a mighty
Intelligence, and comprehending in its boundless Love all
the beings who have evolved from and who forever dwell
in the breadth, depth, and height of Its immense activity.
Seeing that All is Mind, All is Good, All is the Creator,
the enlightened man and woman are one with the Creator
and all Divine expressions; there is no limitation to their
vision or to their knowledge, for they are divine in every
faculty. They can hear all the vibratory whisperings of the
Good in all the universe, and enjoy the blending of their
minds with the Mind that fills infinity, thus partaking of
divine Omniscience.
Realizing that they are all Spirit, and that there is no
law but the Will of the Creator, and that they themselves
are that Will, whatever they will must be effected through
their nature. They can become positive to the vibrations
of light so that mortal eyes cannot see their form, and
they can make themselves so positive to the attraction of
earth that water will seem a solid substance to their feet.
The enlightened man and woman can exert a powerful
and beneficial sway over other natures who are willing to
be influenced by their positive will of goodness and peace,
which quickens them with the vitality of Eternity and satisfies
their spiritual natures with the living Bread of Life.
Glory to the perfected man and woman, for they are the
personality of the Creator, the I AM.
